Duck poop...

There are people in this world who

eat all clean, healthy food and do "soft" exercising.

There are people in this world who go all out

hard core exercising

and eat whatever they want.

I wish I could find a happy medium between the two.

Our new and permanent way of eating has been easy.

I really do enjoy eating clean.

But exercising is about as much fun as

sitting on duck poop.

I used to run when I was younger.

I loved running.

It kept me out of the house for hours,

I got to be in my own little world for a while.

But my knees eventually said "enough"

and I had to stop.

It was the only form of exercise I enjoyed.

Since then I've tried a little of this and a little of that.

Nothing really made me happy.

But now I've seriously had to revisit the whole

idea of being healthy through movement.

I've reached my plateau.

Those 30 pounds dripped off like butter,

then came to an abrupt stop.

Hiking on the weekends just isn't enough.

So my personal trainer, uhm, err, husband

has come up with an exercise regimen.

And it's about as much fun as sitting on duck poop.

The other day, after working out legs

then picking up and rearranging flagstone for two days,

I seriously could not walk.

Duck poop.

But I have to get over my griping,

moaning,

complaining

and just embrace it.

I've changed my eating habits because I want to

live longer, 

be healthier,

be happier.

That means I gotta do the exercise thing too.

Happy medium.

Embrace.

Duck poop.

=)

 

Happy Tuesday

 

Don't forget about my auction for RUFF.

If you don't want to participate but

know of someone who might, please pass it along.

It's for a very good cause.

I'm not a big fan of exercise routines. But walking is good. Even if I only do a short walk. I make it into a walking meditation of sorts and that makes it easier.

so sorry you hit the plateau... like leann, i am a walker - try to change routes and integrate hills... i look for hearts in nature and just 'be'... then i do my rodney yee 'yoga for abs' disc - love that!

I don't especially enjoy exercising either, but I can make myself do it for 30 minutes a day. I used to go to the gym several times a week but found it just ate up a lot of time... driving there and back etc... so now I exercise at home or ride my bike.
A lot of people are using Wii and xbox games these days which are more fun and sometimes interactive... if that's your thing:P

I'll let you know when I start up my new Typepad blog... think I'll start it off with a giveaway ;)
