Heath Report!

I did it! I did it! I did it!

Well, I did something, anyway!

I did the hundred push up challenge - didn't skip that at all. I started out doing traditional push ups but by midway through the second day, I switched to the knee push ups. This felt a bit like cheating because it's much easier but they say it's okay and heck - if I can do even a hundred knee push ups I'll be happy. Plus, then it'll give me another goal to work toward - to be able to do 100 regular push ups. I'm definitely already feeling a bit stronger, which is a very happy feeling.

I did do my glider thingie (which is like cross country skiing) twice for forty minutes, and I rode my bike for about 25 minutes one day. I said I would exercise four - five times though, and I fell short by one. Oh well, I'm still quite pleased with myself.

I must say, I love riding my bike. I'm going to take a big risk here and say out loud (sort of) that I would really like to be a cyclist. Like you hear people say "some day I'm going to run a marathon!", well, I have zero interest in running a marathon. The whole pounding the pavement thing just doesn't do it for me. Riding a bike, now, that's thrilling. I love the wind in my face, the zoomy feel going around corners and over bumps ... it's just fun. I don't know what the equivalent of a marathon in biking is (Rick'll know this one!) but that might be something I'd consider. Except I don't know if I'd like to do road racing or mountain biking. I think mountain biking could be a ton of fun, but perhaps too terrifying.

All in all, a good week. I'm going to stick with the same plan, except I want to try to bike more. That was a lot of fun. How did you guys do with your push ups this week?

Weekly Update ... Or Not!

So, have ya'll noticed that I haven't given a 'weekly update' in a couple weeks now? Hah, sneaky, eh?

Thing is, an update should be just that ... a bit of news that builds upon the last bit of news, right? So in honor of Webster's online dictionary which says to update is to, umm "bring up to date," (duh,) I am only going to give my update when there, ahh, something to update you on!

HA! How's that for a run-on sentence? *U*

See, I've been doing better, then doing worse, gaining a little, then losing a little, eating better, then not eating better, exercising, then not exercising. No real progress has been made. However, I have not entirely REgressed either, so I'm content.

I have not given up altogether, I'm just struggling to find what works for me. I'm working on it. I'll let you know, certainly, if I find it!

Weekly Health Report

Boy, am I sorry I started this!

Now that I've started, I feel obligated to report--which was sort of the point to begin with, but since I don't have anything to report, I feel kinda dumb!

Sucked on the diet.

Sucked on the exercise.

BUT I'm here, am I'm back on track so ... That's good, right? And I can't possibly be alone in my lack of commitment/willpower, right?

Anyway, I'm not beating myself up and I'm picking myself up and getting right back to work, so it's all good. Well, sort of.
