obviously i took some time off from updating this blog...actually, it's more like i turned my back on it completely since it's been almost a year since my last post! i could say that time just got away from me, but the truth is i just stopped feeling the urge/need/desire/etc to continue writing. but, alas(!), my desire has returned and i'm back to try this whole blogging thing yet again! past journaling/blogging history tells me though that even this attempt at starting over will eventually end just as all the others have...i'm not the best at sticking to things; good at starting them, not so good at finishing them. it's a new year though & i'm gonna try my best to update this blog at least once a week...more if the mood strikes, but i'm trying to keep my own expectations low at least for now. and since this is my "exercising blog", i suppose i should at least occassionally mention exercise...i'll do my best with that, as well.
with this being the close of the first week of the new year i thought i would go ahead and mention that i decided not to make resolutions this year. they've never really done me any good in the past & so i figured why make them. now just because i decided not to make them doesn't necessarily mean that i didn't at least think about making some...i'm always thinking so naturally i thought of lots of resolutions that i could make. here are just a few examples:
resolution 1: same as every year, i say that i'm going to read at least one new book every month for the year. that usually lasts long enough for me to hit up a book store, buy 3 or 4 books that look interesting, read 1 of them & then realize that i have far too many other things to do than sit around reading! therefore, that one bites the dust within the first month
resolution 2: i will make a quilt every month...from start to finish. that one never really gets beyond me going to the fabric store!
resolution 3: i will no longer procrastinate...haha, that's a funny one!
resolution 4: i will workout in some way, every day, for at least 30 minutes. that one actually sticks around for a while in some form or another. i do try to get in some exercise 5-6 days a week.
i could go on and on, bringing up past resolutions that i repeatedly make only to let them slip away before we've made it through half the year. but, like i said, i'm not making resolutions this year so why bother thinking about past ones. time to move on & get back into the exercise groove of things!
here's my exercise confession for the week (so far): i've gone to the y twice this week, working on cardio for 60 minutes each time. on monday i also played around with the new wii fit plus game for about an hour. and yesterday i drove my husband crazy by marching in place while i folded the towels. so far, so good...at least in my humble, exhausted opinion!
