Year: 2011
Anti-socially social
I’ve heard that term floating around the web. I think I’m a poster child for it. I hate being alone, but I don’t like going somewhere where I don’t know anyone. Or even if I do know people where I’m going, I usually feel out of place or that I don’t belong. I feel more … Continue Reading
How do you get motivated?
I’m sorry to say … I’ve fallen off the wagon. I started strong, but I fell face first in a pile of stinky horse dung. I have no one to blame but myself. I can’t seem to find the motivation. Either that or there’s a magnet in my bed and another in my fuzzy pj … Continue Reading
Our Government Hard at Work
While reading my tweets on my lunch break, I ran across a tweet by Nate Ryan about a House rep from MN proposing an amendment related to NASCAR. MILITARY MUSIC/NASCAR — Rep. Betty McCollum (D-Minn.) has a pair of amendments that would prevent the military from advertising on NASCAR vehicles and limit to $200 million … Continue Reading
What’s the secret?
I envy those of you who can let things just “roll off your back”. If something bad/irritating happens that you have no control over, you just say “oh well … nothing I could do” and move on. What’s your secret? Even if something is completely out of my control, I still let it get to … Continue Reading
Too much?
I have a question for those of you who exercise regularly. Is the following routine too much (too soon)? The following is my plan for the mornings (before work during the week): Sunday – day of rest Monday – elliptical Tuesday – elliptical Wednesday – Walk Away the Pounds – 1 mi routine Thursday – … Continue Reading
I don’t know how to breathe
This morning, I got up at 5am (well, actually 5:09am … I hit the snooze button once) and got on my elliptical. I lasted 20 min and went 1.25 miles. My legs/body would have been able to go farther, but I could have died if I had tried … literally. I apparently don’t know how … Continue Reading
If that isn’t motivation
I finally set up my Wii Fit this afternoon. I did the Body Test to determine my BMI & Wii Fit age. Not good. Not good at all. My Wii Fit age is 52 (and I’m really 35). I’m not gonna share my BMI … I’ll just say I need to bring that down (a … Continue Reading
And so the journey begins
My New Year’s resolution for this year is: I resolve to be better to myself. To treat myself with the respect I deserve (stop beating myself up for every little thing) and do my damnedest to get healthy and be happy. This isn’t just a “fly by night” resolution. This is a change in my … Continue Reading
New Toy
Ok … it’s not really a toy. It’s a tool. (And a bonus … it’s got a Biggest Loser game that came w/ it.) I mentioned last week that I was embarking on a new journey … a journey to get healthy and happy. I’ve gotten off to a rough start. I’ve only worked out … Continue Reading
So … the iPhone is coming to Verizon
Big whoop. I’m gonna stick w/ my Droid 2. :razz2: I had an iPod Touch, which is basically an iPhone w/o the actual “phone” part. I liked it while I had it. I basically used it for the music player, but I did have some apps on it that I used on a regular basis. … Continue Reading
