Day 154

This morning I woke up early and got on the elliptical for 40 mins. I'm so glad I did, bc I'm exhausted and am gonna go crash.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 138

This morning and got onto the elliptical trainer for 43 minutes and watched the season finale of Blindspot.

While I was logging my exercise on MyFitnessPal, I saw exercise video for some
kind of aerobic dance thing,  thought it looked fun so I decide to try that out. I only did 15 minutes though cause it was pretty lame lol.

Off to bed to do it all over again in the morning.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 137

Tonight I got onto the elliptical for 20 minutes. I'm going to try to get up early tomorrow morning to get on after I wake up.

One day at a time. One choice this time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 132

This morning after I dropped the boy off at school, I came back home, got onto the elliptical for 60 minutes and watched some Fringe.

It feels better being back on a regular schedule again,  although I feel like by mentioning it, I'm somehow sabotaging it. Oye.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 131

I woke up this morning feeling much better.  I got onto the elliptical for 30 mins and then for an additional 30 mins after dropping the big kid off to school.

I wish al days could be this easy.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do so things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 125

(Wed)

Well I guesses I'm not surprised,  but Big Brother caught whatever Hubby and Little Brother had earlier this week. He vomited all day and into the evening. Luckily,  for me, I got onto the elliptical early in the morning,  so it didn't become an excuse. I got on for 45 minutes and watched the most recent episode of Once Upon a Time. Not a fan of the actor playing Hades (Greg Germann). I'm still waiting for Ally McBeal to pop out, which ironically I see weekly also, on Supergirl. Now SHE (Kalista Flockhart) is a much better actress!
**On a side note, I have no idea how I underlined the word "better." Totally unintentional and I don't know how to fix it!  Ha! (Gotta love posting from a phone).

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 124

This morning I got onto the elliptical for 43 mins.  I thought about posting right after but thought I might do more, but didn't.

This weekend Little Brother was sick.  Now, Hubby is sick, going on 2 days.  Oye, I hope Big Brother doesn't catch it.  I've been washing my hands like crazy, so I'm pretty certain I won't. I hope!

One day at a time.  One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 123

This morning I got up early and did 54 minutes on the elliptical. I watched the last episode of Fear the Walking Dead, which I have to say was not as exciting as Blindspot. I can tell bc I only did 1.85 miles in 54 mins today compared to 3.07 miles in 43 mins on Friday. *shrugs*

Have a good night.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 120

I got some really good sleep last night. I was able to get up early this morning and get on the elliptical for 43 minutes. It's so much easier to continue with great habits when you start with great habits first thing in the morning. And it's also a huge sigh of relief when the day starts to wind down and I've already completed a chunk of exercise. It just makes it that much easier.

Off to work in the morning. I pray this weekend silk be ok. Looking forward to Monday when it'll be over!

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 116

Today I got onto the elliptical 3 different times throughout the day. This morning I got on for 30 minutes before school. Then I got on this afternoon for 20 minutes before picking the kid up from school and I just did an additional 30 minutes, just to boost my steps up to over 10,000 steps.

Off to bed.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 112

This morning I got onto the elliptical for 30 mins (surprise, surprise lol). I have been increasing my resistance and elevation lately when on,  just to switch it up a bit.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 111

This morning I got onto the elliptical for 30 mins before starting the day. I need to go to bed earlier to wake up earlier. Gonna try this tonight.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 110

I really don't know what my problem is with posting these. I feel like I've posted, then I go to post the next day and see that I haven't. My days are mending together.

I got onto the elliptical for 45 mins.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 109

Totally forgot to post today.  I got on the elliptical twice today for a total of 70 minutes. First thing after waking up for 20 minutes, and then for a second time, later in the morning, for and additional 50 minutes.

I've been on track with my food as well. Not sure where the sudden motivation came from lol.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 103

One of my biggest problems with this challenge is finding motivation on the days when I don't exercise first thing in the morning. It becomes a game of wills and I almost always lose.

I thought forcing myself to blog before noon would help, which for the most part does, except for on days like today when I had to be at work for a meeting at 7am. I didn't get home until almost 1pm with all the errands we ran afterwards, and that killed the day for blogging and exercising (this is my problem on the weekends also with work). My motivation goes out the door. I guess this is where the "one choice at a time," part comes in, but I guess i struggle with that also,  which is why I have to tell myself this everyday.

Anyway today could have been better, and would have been if I didn't have that last minute meeting.

Tonight I did static holds in a bicep curl 1-2 mins each while pulsing inward to feel my deltoids working. I was watching those little cooking tutorials from Tasty and Tip Hero that float all over FB, hence the varied times (I watched 6 videos).

So tired. Off to bed. I HAVE to get out of this rutt and start exercising in the morning again.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 102

Yesterday (Monday) I got onto the elliptical and started to watch Fear The Walking Dead but kept getting interrupted by phone calls  (I don't get phone service in my bedroom where my elliptical trainer is). Nonetheless, I got in 45 minutes of consecutive time before the interruptions started so I will just count that.  Not bad.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 97

Hey I already got into bed and just remembered that I needed to post this. I didn't post for yesterday either! I don't know where my brain has been.

Anyway today I watched iZombie and I got in an hour on the elliptical trainer. I'm exhausted so I'm going to bed.

One day at a time. one choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 96

I forgot to post for this day! I did 45 minutes on the elliptical watching something that I had saved on DVR (Blindspot).

One day at a time. One choice to the time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 90

Well, my husband brought me a new phone to play around with until I decide what to get. So far, the Blogger app is working better for me... for now. :)

Today I got into lipstick with two different times I got on this morning for 25 minutes and I got on again this afternoon for another 50 minutes. The longer durations are starting to become pretty easy for me which is great so I think I'm going to start playing with the incline and resistance. I really like playing with my weights while I'm on the elliptical also. It's like multi-tasking but with exercise lol.

One day at a time. One choice at a time.

I can do all things in Christ who gives me strength.

Day 89

I just got off the elliptical trainer for 90 minutes. I watch Despicable Me 2 with my youngest son. I also did bicep curls 3 sets of 20 with 5 pounds and triceps extensions also three sets of 20 with 5 pounds, while on the elliptical.

One day at a time. one choice at a time.
