#1185 my exercise idea

I got off work early today to get a little jump start on the three day weekend.  Since I got home, I have either been sitting here in front of my computer playing solitaire or laying on my bed playing with my phone or reading. I'm a little embarrassed at my sloth.

MT and T have gone to see the new X-Men movie. I never got into the X-Men, so I decided to skip it, even though it is MT's birthday movie. His birthday is tomorrow, but they wanted to see it tonight. I don't think MT is upset that I didn't go to his birthday movie. Last year's choice, Fast & Furious 6 (or 7 or 9) was a waste of money for me. I fell asleep. It's just not my thing.

As I was laying on my bed, petting the dog and feeling bad because I am such a lazy-bones, I came up with an idea that I think I'm going to try next week. My goal is to do some type of physical activity every day, so I came up with a list of things that I can do during the week that won't take more than about 20 - 30 minutes. For example, one thing is to go for a 20 minute walk and I specify the direction I should go. I've got a couple of 10 minutes walk options and some yoga options. There are nine options for the five weekdays. I have a separate list for weekends and those activities can take a little longer. So far I've come up with four weekend options.

My plan is to write the options on separate little pieces of paper and put them in a baggie - one for the weekdays and one for weekends. Monday through Friday, when I get home from work, I will randomly select an activity and immediately go do it. Same thing on weekends.

What do you think? Do you think I will do it, that I will stick with it for a week? Gotta try something and this will take the guesswork out of it because my options are pretty specific. Do you have any suggestions for activities that I can do?

Have a great Memorial Day weekend, America!



Talk to you tomorrow :)

PS - the egg muffins were fantastic! I will be making more of those for certain!

I used to do the little papers thingie, but it was about where to go for lunch/dinner because I was tired of always going to the same places.
It could work if you follow through :)
