Steppin' It Up!

To answer Kelli's previous comment....I am not really sure what I am going to do to step up my exercising.  I am increasing my crunches and leg lifts.  I want to walk a little more since I do enjoy that!  While I am in AZ helping Kelli, I get to use her neighbor (Brenda ☺)'s treadmill.  And yes, I will do it on an incline.  (I don't have A.D.D. and I know I am talking about exercising, but while I am on the subject of being in AZ I will just say I am so looking forward to being with Matilyn, Ethan and Londyn for a couple weeks!!)  Back to the exercise....Kelli has a dvd for cardio and is basically challenging me to do that.  We'll see how that goes!  It is chilly outside and too windy to walk so my guess is today there will be a little slacking off with getting the cardio workout in.  I am not one for weigh lifting, jogging or regular aerobics.  I used to take a slimnastics class which I loved and it helped so much.  Once I have the car back during the day, I may check into that type of class at one of the places here in San Diego.  I also love water aerobics but I don't know of anywhere that offers it here.  Anyone in my area that knows of someplace that has the water aerobics, please let me know.

MahJong

All I am saying is Mahjong on Thursday!  Yes!

Refocus!

Although I have (over the past week) stayed almost exactly the same in weight, I decided today that I need to boost things a little.  Whether it is really watching how I eat and/or adding extra exercise to kick it up a notch.  I am still thrilled with the accomplishments I have made, but I want to do more.  I feel so much better than I did 3 months ago and I know I can feel even better with doing more for myself. So, I am going to step it up and continue to be a better me in 2010!

Home Again!!

Home again!!! I am pretty sure I have said that before!  Just recently in fact!  We are back from AZ and it feels wonderful to be home.  It was such a fast weekend but the drive home today seemed to last longer than our visit!  Instead of coming straight back to San Diego from Gilbert, we took Bob's son Ryan home to Tucson.  We left at 8:00 this morning and got home at 5:16 this evening.  Long, long day!!  It was nice to walk in to a very clean house.  I am so glad I took care of the lawn, mopped, vacuumed, etc before we went to AZ.  I will be flying to AZ again on April 8th to help Kelli for a couple of weeks.

Great Weather In AZ Right Now Too!

We are in AZ and the weather today is beautiful.  Zach's baptism was very good and we are so proud of him.  There was a lunch at the Kevin and Corina's home afterwards and the food was delicious.  (Thank you Kevin and Corina).  There was shredded pork, refried beans, great flour tortillas (and all the trimmings) and awesome burritos were made!!  Great chips and salso too!!  And of course....a birthday cake for Zach!

We'll be heading back to San Diego in the morning and will be ready for a new week!

Heading for AZ

I'll be leaving in a few minutes to get Bob from the airport then we'll be on our way to AZ for Zach's baptism.  Such a quick trip but it will be worth it.  Any time we have the opportunity to see family, we try to make it work. We have someone watching our house for us and the car is packed with snacks and "real" food.  Hopefully there will only be one stop in Yuma to put gas in the car and let Sadie out to "do her duty."  (Yes, we carry little bags with us to pick up her poo.)  I am hoping to be able to post on my blog tomorrow but I know it will be a busy day.  Even though the posts aren't too interesting, I still need to do it as the follow up to the challenge....journal or write it down daily.

New Favorite Song

I know this is no big deal to anyone but yesterday I was listening to the radio while I was driving.  This in itself is something because I never like to listen to anything while I am driving. (Ok...unless someone is in the car with me talking, then I do listen.)  Anyway...I heard a song I had never heard before and loved it.  When I got home I googled some of the words from the song and found out it is "Losing My Religion" by REM.  I love the music!!!  It has the greatest beat and if I was at a dance it would be a blast to dance to!!  (Dancing is also good exercise!)  I tried to copy and paste it to the blog but wasn't able to.  Go to youtube.com and pull it up.  Let me know if you like it!

Perfect weather again today.  I took Sadie for a walk and  I'll be mowing the backyard in a few minutes!!  More good exercise!!
