"Fun exercise" -- an oxymoron?

One eleven point eight (the New Digital loves point 8)!!! 111.8!! Of course, that could be wrong -- I didn't do a second weigh-in to double check it. I'ma let myself just be happy today. At this rate, assuming the number is correct, one more good cold and I'm down to 110, maybe even 108. Now 105 may be reachable. It's NOT just a dream!! [Ooops -- commercial break is over -- gotta go do more Gilad.]

Decided to do Gilad in real time this morning, i.e., when it's actually on TV. It's rare that all the animals are fed and walked in time for me to do Gilad. But it's raining today, so they aren't getting a walk. At least not yet. And since I was up and dressed and the animals were all sedated by breakfast, I got to work out with Gilad. So that's good -- bonus points for me on a rainy Monday morning -- I've already worked out and built muscle and gotten my heart rate up for the day. But mostly, I've now got permission to sit on the couch tonight. Ha!!!

[BloGoogle break.] Googled "best workout for middle age women." Just lots of stuff I already know about how exercise is good for you and you have to keep doin' it forever. I need to find something FUN to do at least three times a week. Like a dance class or something. What can I do that involves exercise and gives me a good workout, but is still fun? Well, you think about that, and I'll brainstorm here at my end. I've still got several new Gilad videos to try, plus a Dance with Julianne Cardio Ballroom video. Don't ask. Seemed like a good idea at the time. Maybe I'll try it this week. And I can always rollerblade more. I took Lola for a trot around the 'hood on Saturday on my in-line skates. No injuries, but I still look like an idiot. And idiocy loves company, so come on Ena, get over that whole "I just ran a marathon and I deserve a break" thing, and let's roll!

All right, I've clearly Googled the wrong thing -- next post: I'ma Google "fun exercise."

  1. I'm in, but are you implying that I look like an idiot? (I mean I do, but I was hoping it wasn't quite so obvious and all.)
