Monday Musings

In the past few weeks, I have had several encounters where someone said, "I didn't know that about you." Being a lover of random acts of kindness and random thoughts, I decided to make it easier for my friends and list some of them here. (Makes it easier to avoid small talk later. No offense...)

  1. Yes, I used to be quiet and shy. It was my protection against a screwed up family. (You have no idea...) Ditched the family & ditched the shell.
  2. Yes, I have performed stand-up comedy & received a standing ovation every single time. I'm working on plans to return to it this summer!
  3. Yes, I do hate Tom Brady and Christian Laettner equally. There is no other athlete that will ever be able to cause my blood to boil in the way these two gals do.
  4. Yes, I really am working to obtain a pilot's license.
  5. No, I do not have a romantic bone in my body. No seriously, romantic gestures make me suspicious. Besides, I much prefer my funny bone!
  6. No, I do not have dreams of 2.5 kids and a white picket fence. Never have, never will. And no, I don't have anything against those who do. I just know I'd feel like a caged animal & die a slow death inside. Been there, done that.
  7. Yes, I did go to the National Spelling Bee & National Free Throw Championships in the same year. 
  8. Yes, I really do make inappropriate jokes at inappropriate times. It eases the tension (at least for me.)
  9. I will high five or give "knucks" to anyone. There are approximately 10 people allowed to hug me. 
  10. If you "knew me from school", I can assure you that you don't know me anymore unless you've spoken to me in the past year or so. But I'm always open to have a drink and chat! Just don't expect me to be the timid, smart girl. Well, I'm still smart but more smartass than timid. I can also assure you that I want to leave the world a better place than I found it.

Mental Shift

Watching an interview with Tory Johnson about her book, "The Shift", I realized that I am having a mental shift lately. I am simply fed up with being unhealthy and miserable. Just like any other addiction, we have to be fed up to make a change.  I am no longer focused on the numbers. For instance, I went to the gym this morning. How many calories did I burn? I have no idea. I just moved. I walked on the treadmill for about 20 min and biked for 30 min. I left the heart rate monitor and BodyFit at home. I simply focused on moving. The only number that matters to me right now is 30. My goal is to move 30 min/day every single day. I am throwing the scale away. I am not counting calories. I am not setting up unrealistic goals. I am simply cutting myself some slack and moving.  Next week, I am doing the New Years Day 5k here. My husband agreed to do it with me, which is a good thing. Will I be fast? No. With my shin/achilles pain, I simply want to finish. I don't care wh...

It's amazing how good I feel the past few days. It could be my upcoming trip to Florida, but I think it's a combo of cleaning out the sugar & getting active, as well as the B-12 supplement. Whatever it is, I'll take it.  This week has been crazy busy at work. Real estate is flying in our area. I had an inspection, 2 new listings, multiple offers on one home & wrote two offers, in addition to it being tax season & prepping for my trip. Normally, I'd have been overwhelmed & exhausted. Instead, I actually worked out last night. The hubby & I went to eat and shop, then I came home & worked out at 9:45 p.m. Who am I?!?  I realized I can't do Turbo Fire. My knee just won't allow it. That's OK. I discovered Rockin' Body on my Beachbody On Demand and I love it. It's low impact and simply fun. I look like I'm floundering because I'm not a dancer. My hips were trained to be stationary, due to softball. Even so, I can do this ...

Walk It Out

Today, I banged out a 3.5 mile walk in the cold, brisk wind. My muscles were tight & it was mainly uphill, which slowed my times. But I am ok with it. Why? I got off the couch and moved. I put the past few days behind me and just did it. I woke up, griping that the Y doesn't open til noon on Sundays. (Side note: I'm seriously going to have to look into a new gym as the Y's hours SUCK) Still, I read another chapter in The Shift and realized I didn't necessarily have to have the gym. I had my own two feet and today that was good enough. Mock my times if you want. I truly don't care. I did 3.5 miles in exactly one hour. It was good enough for me and that's ALL that matters. Suck it haters.
