One Week, One Weak.

Boy am I worn out today. I only got a couple hours of sleep last night because for some reason I was wide awake long after I should have been hanging out with the sand man. All day today, my energy level has been roughly equivalent to that of a limp dish rag. Thus, during my break at school I didn't exercise, I slept (because that was truly what was best for me). By the time I got home, it was 8:45 and my get up and go was way gone.

So, I didn't get my 20 minutes in. Here's what I did do though. I had a short walk--about 5 minutes or so--at school. And just now, I got down on the floor and completed 100 abdominal crunches.

Success? Well, sort of. I never would have done those crunches if it had not been for my challenge. (That's got to count for something.) Plus, I learned (or re-learned) that this is why you should plan to exercise every single day. Because some days it is seriously not possible because of health or scheduling, or whatever.

Tomorrow is a new day and it will be very hectic too. My plan is to exercise before school. I'll let you know . . .

Increasing lessons learned,

Shout out to my new followers: WELCOME! Five more to get to my goal of 20 followers before my sister reaches 20 followers on her blog (my niece already has 60+ on her blog, so there's no competition there). Spread the word!

    Daddy once told me he had to do 100 crunches every other day in gym class when he was my age. I got woozy from just thinking about it!! I can only do 50, I think. Good job!

    Man, with all this snow here we're all probably getting as much workout as you!! After going sledding 4 times in the past 2 days, my legs feel like jelly. I went from my house to a university probably a mile away through the deep snow to get to a HUGE hill (We call it "Devil's Hill", it's so high) only to remember that we still had to walk up the hill after every time we sled down. And then there was the walk back. Wow! I wish Trellace and Baker and Margaret could've been with us!!
