Cardio Day--Thinking

Today was an almost all cardio day, which means that I did a lot of thinking.  And some day dreaming.  I read 2 magazines while I used the AMT for 35 minutes. I can't remember what I read except that Carrie Underwood works out 1.5 hrs. per day and she eats mostly vegan. I ran on the treadmill for 32:30 and went 4.2 miles.  I did stop after 2 miles to use the restroom. You do what you gotta do. I finished with some planks, crunches, and mountain climbers.


What was I thinking about?  Christmas, Thanksgiving, jury duty, kids, the house, friends. I tried to make sure I had good posture when I was running. I wondered why more people aren't at the gym.  I thought about asking if I could rent the gym on my birthday or have a zumba or bodypump class party.  I wonder if they would do that ? Some of the songs I heard while running today made me want to dance.  And I don't dance. I guess I need to change things up.  Good thing they are adding those classes next month.


I have jury duty the week of Thanksgiving.  I think that means I won't get called in that week. But the next week is my birthday.  That would be the BEST birthday!

I tried to encourage a friend to join the gym this week.  I am not sure if I convinced her. I just know that she would be happier with herself if she worked out hard for a while and I am happy to help her.  She said she didn't want people to watch her and she wasn't sure about leaving her child in a daycare room. So, I offered to let her little boy play with mine while she works out.

Yesterday was so nice outside.  We played with cousins and neighbors for several hours. I went to parent/teacher conferences in the evening.  Both of our girls are good students.  It makes life a lot easier.  Our conferences were quick.  That was nice. 

Trying to keep myself from putting up Christmas stuff.  I think I can wait another week.  That's pretty good, right?


When do you start decorating for Christmas? Real or fake tree?
