Operation Crazy Owl – hard boot

Exercise is hard, ya’ll.  Just in case you didn’t know.

After my last post about exercise, I had a great conversation with Mom about how I should work with my body in exercise instead of against it.  My body doesn’t want to get up a 5 o’clock in the morning.  There were things about it that I enjoyed and that were working out really well for me, but I got more sick and was more tired when I did that then any other time.

So I’m not doing that anymore.  Instead, I’m working to consistently do a long, cario-working exercise session 5 times a week.  Something that I love.  Something that I regret missing if I don’t do.  I’ve been doing Zumba on Monday and Wednesday, something like yoga or dancing in my living room on other nights, yoga on Saturday.  And I have been having a blast!  I don’t know if it’s doing much good at helping me lose weight, but I’m having a better time.

I’m trying to get out and go on walks at lunch, too.  It’s nice – getting out of the building and into the light and fresh air.  I’m having trouble being consistent with it because of either having to work through my lunch hour or because of bad weather.  I should find a way to walk inside during rainy weather.  Or, like today, when the wind was so strong it kept blowing my skirt up.  But it’s something else I’m doing that I’m enjoying.

And that’s about all I have to say about that at the moment.  It’s a boring post when all I write about is exercise.  🙂

Of course, what I’m left writing about then is work and that’s even worse.  I don’t want to write about work.

So I think I’m going to sit back and watch TV for a little while before heading to bed.  I hope you’re all having a great day!
