This morning I had a great jog. I did intervals yet again -- yesterday I read that intervals burn more of that unwanted fat you store in your pudged out problem areas. I made myself breathe through my nose and out my mouth. I was having trouble in my first interval, but I also hadn't warmed up properly. I was very out of breath and sweaty by jogs end, but I felt great. I felt almost giddy at the end. I have developed some type of affinity to early morning exercise. Right now as I think about it I get excited like I get to do something FUN! Maybe with a little more practice I'll find this jogging thing fun.
I could feel the burn in my arms, which resulted from using my Total Gym yesterday. I used my handy dandy purple watch to see how long I was lifting. I went for 15 straight minutes on my arms. I did my usual exercises, then checked to see how long I'd been working--5 minutes. I had no idea I usually stopped after 5 minutes. So, I kept adjusting my exercises by sitting in different positions, adjusting my grip. I also worked my core while doing overhead pulls. When I finished I drank water and sat on the couch. I felt nauseated, and I shook when I lifted my arms. I can feel some ache in my arms today, but it's just enough to show me I worked them.
When I got to work this morning I had a little gift waiting for me:
It's called a "Bee Happy Dancing Flower." It's a solar powered flower in a miniature pot. The leaves and the flower move perpertually in a smooth soundless motion. I'm not sure why, but it's soothing. Something about a pink flower in a blue pot just brightens my day. The box says it gives you guaranteed happiness, it's pollenless, waterless, small and portable, runs from all natural sunshine, requires no fertilization, and makes you smile. Now that's my kind of plant! I can't drown it, dry it out, or keep it away from the sun too long. Check it out if you need a little fun in your day!
