Day 243 (day 5 / week 35)

It's funny how we can have intentions to do things, and then they kind of just go away throughout the day.

I procrastinated a lot today. I used my HRM as an excuse for the first 2 hours, but I think I fixed the problem (replaced the batteries). We'll see. It was too hot to do anything after 9am and I think I am getting bored with exercise so I have to change it up somehow, because I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. It's like it's been said: This is life, it's not a dress rehearsal. I was not looking forward to being kooked up in the house doing an exercise video so I needed to find another way to exercise. Exercise is awesome, because it's everywhere. I like the idea of cleaning for exercise, because you kill two birds with one stone, but everything is as clean as it's going to get...except for the carpet...

So I scrubbed the carpet today for exercise. I'll make it a (non) rest day because The Monkey Boy kindly tried to help, but I didn't like the thought of him sticking his hand in the bucket that had my concoction that I found on the internet, to clean carpets (some hot water and a little pine sol--which worked great!). I even have a grody picture for you.



Can you tell which side was cleaned (the left)?

lol. totally gross I know, and more than I want to expose of myself, but in my defense, the carpets were like this when we moved in. You can tell that I spot treated certain areas now. I think I bit off a bigger piece than I can chew, because it looks like I have to scrub the ENTIRE carpet now, so that it all matches. Maybe this weekend, when I am scrounging for minutes, trying to make up for the workdays, I will get some more scrubbing done.

Anyway, I scrubbed for 35 minutes and probably didn't burn many calories (I don't know how many, I didn't use my HRM this time).

Tomorrow is the 1st of the month, and so I should be doing my measurements and monthly picture, but alas, I am not going to. It's getting late in the evening now, and I have to work for the next 3 days (and my hubby doesn't want to help me right now)...so, I will be posting this info on Friday, instead. So check back then to see my progress for the month :). I have been having issues with my computer, so hopefully the douchiness goes away before then as well (so frustrating!).

Hope you all have a great evening!

Make it count!

I can do this. I am a star.
