I have discovered a way of getting exercise without really noticing it...

Walking while playing video games! I've been playing Final Fantasy VIII for the first time this week, and I'll walk in place, do lunges and stuff while playing, especially during the parts where I'm not controlling it (the game is heavily story-based. Like an interactive movie more than a game). I did three miles before noon yesterday! Then I just slacked off the rest of the day It's fun, though, and I don't notice what I've done until I'm sore the next morning :P

WAY TO GO MISTI!!!!!!!!! on the miles yesterday! That is AWESOME! I hope you have a great time on your cruise. WOOO WOOO!

Had a horrible day yesterday and I don't know why. I just didn't want to do anything all day. I spent WAY too much time on the computer and finally FORCED myself to do a 1 mile WATP at about 7:15 last night. I didn't even hit 7000 steps. I'm frustrated with myself. I'm not sure how to re-motivate myself, either. I know that the stress of the end of the school year is getting to me, but that's all the more reason to do something physical for myself!

Oh, well.......I'll muddle through!

Happy Sunday!

Michele

I've gotten a little messed up with the dates. I'm back on track.

This morning I watched Shrek during my workout. I hadn't realized what a great movie that is for walking and jogging. It has great music for doing intervals. Certain times I find myself flying (like when the dragon is chasing Shrek and Donkey in the castle, I feel like I've got to run fast to get away too.), and other times walking fast almost at a dance (like when Shrek and Fiona make balloons for each other on their way to Dulac, or times when I can walk at a slower 3.0 mph like when Fiona and Shrek have that misunderstanding about how they feel about each other.

Then of course there is the celebration dance at the end. I found myself raising my arms above my head and dancing on the mill like a lunatic.

I'll be back in a bit with our total miles. I feel great.

So.. here is our total.

1950.98 miles as reported by Misti when we reached Sundance, Wyoming.
139.118 miles since then

For a grand total of (drumroll) 2090.098 miles! So where ARE we? I ... I just do the math.

Wow.. I think my email is messed up. I haven't been getting any emails to let me know of new posts. What a bummer.
