Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm This morning I set a simple goal = 5K walk in the morning and 5K run in the evening.

After much thought I decided to make this an exercise “off” day because I have a lot of exercise planned for the next 4 days. On top of that my shoulders is still a little sore, nothing bad because I watched my form and did the Pilates workout correctly. It’s from doing a very good session with a very good instructor. Soreness tells me I did it spot on.

However, I’m am a worry wort. I perfer to baby my body versus pushing. Therefore no weights today and probably tomorrow. With that said, the run will have to wait too for tomorrow.

You know me, I won’t take anything standing up - literrally. Being this is an off exercise day I did yep 10 MILES OF WALKING! All before , during and on my last break.

What did today and a lot of my unconventional exercise days taught me? NO EXCUSES!!! I refuse to give myself an excuse not to exercise.

Time running short? Make time for it…, no equipment - WALK! Do push-ups! Do somethign!

I refuse to play the I have no time game. If you don’t make time for your body, you won’t get what you want out of it. Enough said.

Oh, and this is me venting again….not talking about anyone in particular. Just me telling myself how it’s done in Nancy’s world.

Just like your food, you have to know how to zig zag your exercise to get the most out of it. Never stalemate your workouts!

Yes, don’t ever settle!! Settle leads to failure. Set goals and go into overdrive and get it in but also be mindful of your body.

Food wise I barely made the 1680 minimum. I packed some roasted corn on the cob for the movies. We are going to see Angels and Demons. Won’t be surprise if I hit my 2000 mark today. Even so, that will keep me in the right calorie range.

Saturday morning, ok, gotta really do my 5K run unless my shoulder is good then I do weights and yoga.
