I'm very excited--I bought two workout DVDs today. They are The Biggest Loser DVDs and while I'm not necessarily a fan of TBL, my friend recommended them to me because she said that they show you how to modify some of the moves if you aren't ready to do things at 100% right away. She also said that you add minutes and intensity as you get better and more in shape. I thought both of those selling points were worth the $8.50 each investment. I needed something. I find the recumbent bike so very boring and allergy season is preventing me from going outdoors too much. I'd really like a Wii...and Wii Fit but I keep telling myself that I need to prove to myself that I will truly commit to a workout program of some sort before I can spend so much money. If I can't do six weeks of an $8.50 DVD, I really shouldn't spend $200 plus on a Wii...right? Maybe by then I won't even want a Wii and I'll figure out something else to do to up the exercise. Look at that...haven't even done one day of TBL DVD and I'm already planning what I'll conquer after that. Funny. At least I'm motivated, right? :)
I also caught myself saying something to my daughter today that I wish I hadn't. We were picking weeds do I don't get fined by Homeowner's Association (I've already received the notice--ugh--they just sprouted out of nowhere from all of our rain this year). Anyway, she wanted to pick some flowers and pull them out like I was pulling the weeds. And I said, "No, don't pick the flowers...they're pretty...we have to throw the weeds away 'cause they're ugly." Ick. What a terrible message. At first I thought, "Well, luckily she's three so she probably didn't really take in what I said" but then minutes later she was repeating my logic to her father. I guess we subconsciously start sending pretty/ugly messages to our children at a very early age. Bummer. At least I'm aware for the future.
Two totally unrelated topics in one journal...I know. Just had a lot on my mind tonight.
Buenas Noches.
