   I've been meaning to get out and rake the leaves out of my gutter because it makes such a muddy mess come the Spring but a) I've been lazy and b) I've been waiting for better weather. Started out at 28 degrees and now it's up to a balmy 35!! At least the sun is out. Weather man has said SNOW for the last 3 days. Liar Liar pants on fire!!

   Moved a little slower this morning by like 3 minutes but had to return movies. Turns out I could have taken them with my car but it's good I got the walk in right?

   Had to return movies to the Redbox and I wanted to rent Super 8 which was released today AND I didn't want to take the car out of the garage just to do a movie run when there are Redboxes so close by so I walked it. Felt good to get out and move. I've been sick for a week and a half with a head cold and that has been my excuse. No energy whatsoever. Today is the first day I felt like getting out. So. HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU ALL!!

   I need to learn how to read my heart rate so I can document it on this site. There is a spot. I had to go over to Target to get a wedding gift and some food storage containers. So I set out to walk it. Not real exciting. Talked to mom there and back. Got the exercise in tho' didn't I? :)

   Ok. So. My landlord insisted on buying me a new ELECTRIC mower. I thought I'd be done mowing for the season, or that was the plan at any rate. But the grass was long and I thought I'd try out the new mower. HOLY BACK PAIN BATMAN!! It's worse than vacuuming your house! My backyard is fairly small too. But I had to mow twice cuz the grass was so long. It used to take me 15 minutes max. Took me a full hour! Calories burned? Have no clue but it'd better been worth it!

   No motivation whatsoever really but I still got out and did it. Time is now wasting away and I've got things to do. So. I've reported. The End. :)

    One of the 20 Diet books I have laying around my home says "20 minutes -- 4 days a week to get your heart rate up" So. Ok. That's easy enough right? It's just I can't find my motivation! I lost it somewhere! I should have written it down but then I'd just be looking for the paper I wrote it down on. :) 20 minutes. Easy-Peasy. I CAN DO THIS. Yes. It is intended to "lose weight" but I got to get back on the horse and start small.

    Was gonna then wasn't gonna and then did. <sigh> I used to feel real guilty when I didn't go. But I used to feel guilty BEFORE when my brain would make up excuses and finally the guilt would motivate me out of bed. Now I'm not even feeling that sort of guilt. I think the thing that motivates me (and this is silly) is that if I don't swim then I gotta go walk and it's way harder on my whole body if I go walking. So swimming it is. I'm glad there is a pool close and I have an annual pass!

    I worked a little harder today. The website I found to figure out how many calories I'm burning says "vigorous, treading water" or "vigorous, freestyle laps" and since it's not either or but a combo of both I'm using that as a baseline calorie burn. I'm so easily bored that I kept looking at the clock. I wish you could wear headphones in the pool. LOL why haven't they invented that yet? or have they and I'm just unaware??

    Today is the first day of the rest of my ______________ (fill in the blank). I keep saying I'm going to do this or do that and then I put it off and then I think "Well September 1st is Thursday that's a good day to start" So. FOR REAL. No more messing around. I haven't gone swimming all year and I've had a pass all year. Today tho', was a good day. I have forgotten how good it feels to swim. 7:30 am seems to be the ideal non-busy hour at this pool. FANTASTIC.
