Movin' and Shakin' 4-7-06

There is actually no moving or shaking in my world today, but I think I'm taking a day off. H(#l week is almost over, and I've been really good.

Back to work, but how are y'all doin today?

Oh, I took a walk at lunch but it was only about 10 minutes and it was more to blow off steam than to move or shake. :)

I have done alot of housecleaning the last couple of days. I know that doesn't really count shadow! lol But at least I have been moving!

Since I am now back home (read in the community forum) I am getting back to normal on Monday. This means that on Monday everything goes back to being strict strict with eating and exercise! My eating stayed good but exercise didn't! lol It will be very interesting to see how I do on Monday. ;)

Miralin - Way to go squeezing in some stress relief for the day :)!

ALLY!!! I was wondering where you were, girl! So glad you're back home again :D! We'll consider the cleaning as an active rest to help ease you into Monday, okay ;)? Just don't push too hard on Monday - it will take you a while to get back into it, you know :p.

I'm just curious as to how much progress I lost during my one month of stress! lol

Well - on the one hand, we "lose" it a lot faster than we "gain" it ;). But, on the other hand, this is where "muscle memory" is truly a blessing - because you'll get back to where you were a lot faster than it took you to get there to begin with.

How's that for inspiration (with a dose of realism) :cool:?

Thanks! It's amazing what 20 minutes out of the office, moving, and getting some sunshine will do for you. And it helps with my depression, too, so double bonus.

I did end up taking today off. Tomorrow I have a mission, with the house. I will do my best not to overdo it!

This afternoon, I did 55 min on the elliptical (cut a little short since my name was announce on the PA system to go to the child care room) & then tonight, I did another 60 min on the elliptical. I've been feeling kinda blah with the weather as of late so I needed a boost to get me moving. :rolleyes:

Miralin - I walk every lunch time which I think is the only thing that has saved my sanity - and the lives of my co-workers :p.

Liz - Hope the boost worked - and that your children weren't misbehaving ;).

Lita, nope, I got called to the child care center because my younger one needed a diaper change. I'd rather have that than having them misbehave.
