Wow, Day 300. I can't believe that. I have already decided that when Jan 1st rolls around, I am going to rename my blog to, "365 Days of Exercise, and counting." If I can do it for 365 days, why stop? I have already realized that momentum is HUGE. I've got it, so why stop. I've proved to myself that it's not as difficult as it seems or "hard" like my brain wants me to think. It's just a matter of doing it. Nike is right. Just do it.
Today I was supposed to have class. In fact, I was on my way out the door when I grabbed my cell and saw a missed call and voice mail message. It turns out my instructor (sounding horrible) is sick and had to go to Urgent Care. She is sick and has underlying lung problems, so she has to get checked out to make sure that her cold/flu--whatever it is, won't mess with her lungs (definitely in my prayers). She didn't assign any homework, so I guess it's a freebie week for me, since I pounded away all of the strips I had to do last night, and this morning, and I get it now. Who knew? Homework actually works! lol.
So, all dressed up and no where to go... what shall I do? Get back into PJs and play Wii Fit? Sounds like half of a plan Stan. I put on exercise pants instead of PJ pants lol. Anyway I played like 68 Wii Minutes worth. Yoga, balance games, strength training, cardio and another category related to Wii Fit that I can remember. So much fun.
After that, I went to the hospital (not the one that I work at), and was there for most of the day. O'Pa (my hubby's grandfather) is there with some complications not related to the stint he had put in on Monday. He's good, he just has a pesky problem that I shall not mention. It might be too gross for some of you to read. It could be serious, but it has happened in the past, and stopped so everyone (including doctors) are optimistic that this, too, shall pass.
I got home and played another 40 Wii Minutes worth. I heart Wii Fit. It's like playing a video game but fun. I mean like exercising but fun. I mean... it's hard to explain what I mean, ya know what I mean? Anyway I am getting better with my balance. My Wii Fit age this morning was 23. Boohya! *high fives all around.* Now that I am getting better with my balance, I am getting better at yoga. I'm getting better at juggling too lol, and hula hooping. lol. I'm still having some problem with my simple arrhythmic though lol (stupid number 10). It may or may not sound like I'm rambling, huh?
I am...and I'm not ;).
Ok, off to spend some time w/ the hubby and monkey boy. Hope you all had a great Wednesday!
What are you doing to make it count?
I can do this. I am a star.

You can't possibly know how relieved I am to hear there is a continuation plan for 2010! Really. Truly. This made my day! Way to Go Melissa!! What am I doing to make it count? C25K with a 5K planned for Dec 19th w/my hubby. It's in the evening and winds through a park that has Christmas lights all through it! I'm also tackling 100 pushups and 200 situps which are 6 week programs. I've learned that a plan and a challenge are what motivate me. Melissa, you've encouraged me to make so many changes this year.....I remember in Feb one of my goals one week was not to have dessert more than 4x/week. Honestly. That was my goal. Now I'm eating whole foods, mostly organic and my desserts are only occasional and I make sure they are really really yummy! And I exercise consistently 6 days/week. My goodness.....THANK YOU for your determination and persistence with blogging. It counts!!!
Hey, Melissa, you must have heard me thinking...I was wondering what you were doing January 1. Phew, like Loreejo I'm relieved to know you're still going to be blogging you're journey. Offline we've talked and talked about how you inspire me...I'm just so proud of you, I feel like you're my own little sister! Hope your Grandpa-in-law gets better soon.
P.S. You keep talking like this and I'm going to lust after that Wii Fit...
