Flat Tire

I didn't make it to weight watchers again!  I KNOW!!!  We had a flat tire.  No big deal.. Change it in the morning right? Wrong... The spare was flat!  I was so annoyed.  And this was a week that I was actually looking forward to weighing in. It had been a good week.  But oh well... such is life.

But I did make it to the gym 5 times last week!!

That is the least amount of time I am allowing myself to go.

This week I am trying for 6 times... I really do feel better after working out.

For the last two days I have been doing mainly cardio and I have been able to do 40 minutes on Cybex cycle from hell!!

It's quite the workout!!

I am going to add 10 minutes a week until I hit 1 hour, then I will start adding the elliptical to my workout too.

I hate that thing!!!

Cardio is going to become an everyday activity for me. Mostly at the gym but also at home. There is a park across the street from my home and it has a 1/3 mile track and a play ground that I can use as my own outdoor gym.

Also going to try getting up earlier in the mornings and going for a simple walk/stroll.  This will come in handy when summer gets to NM and it is hot by 9:30 in the morning.   

Walk a half hour in the morning

Eat a light breakfast

Go to the gym and get Cardio and Strength done 

This is a good way to start the day.

I think I can make this work.  It won't be easy. I am married to a person who HATES the morning.. so no support there.  He supports me... 

'Honey... close the blinds when you leave... it's too bright out there.  And have a good... (snoring noise goes here)'

So I was thinking about the things that my weight has kept me from.

here is my first top 10 list!!!
