exercise every day

today I went to Curves and got a monthlong membership, which I need to use because it wasn’t cheap! I also got a punchcard for the pool in Oak Harbor because I totally love swimming and it’s the easiest way to exercise :)

Went riding in the heat. Melted on the horse. Lucky thing daughter sprayed cold water on both of us.

I fell off the wagon. Hard.

It was the vacation and custody thing and being out of town, and flat-out laziness.

I’m back on. Tonight.

joined a gym that’s on the corner of my house. location for me makes a great difference. did 30 minutes of cardio yesterday and today. I’m back.

Still really sucking at this goal…

I rode tonight instead of doing the knee exercises. I have decided this counts, though. I have to use all my strength to stay balanced when I jump, since you pivot off your knees.

We jumped quite a bit tonight. I put the rails on the ground, and to my surprise he jumped them like they were a 2 foot rail! I guess he’s getting into the spirit of the thing.

My only problem is that I can’t seem to convey the idea of pacing the take-off, so that sometimes he jumps way short and sometimes very long. I need to read up on this….

I am going to try to do this tomorrow. I plan to run at least a little bit, even if its just for 30 minutes.

Oh yeah… and every time I go up and down any stairs, I take two at a time now since I don’t have time to work out, and I’m going up stairs anyway.

do these knee exercises every day to get maximum benefit. Already I can navigate the stairs much better and the pain is much less. So I’m challenging myself to do them for a month, every single day.

Since I don’t have time to do conventional exercise most of time, for right now I am going to count doing seriously exhausting housework as exercise. Just for now anyway, until my house is spotless.

for me to skip a day here and there. And that turns into me being lazy. I want to exercise some every day.
