3月1日 Are you up for the Challenge?So I left a little note for our Kim the other day about a challenge for March. She has agreed to it as far as I can tell...lol. I think throwing it out there to all our WLS friends as well as anyone else who wants to participate is a grand idea. This all came about after some constant teasing and inquiries as to the well being of Kim's poor Ab Roller contraption. The poor thing made it off of her back porch and into her work out room but has laid dormant ever since...lol. In the spirit of all things hopefully melting away in March, I bring you the "Whittle the Middle March" Challenge. I think that measuring would be a good idea to start. From there, let the crunchfest begin. I slacked today as I have been tormented by that crazy March Lion appearing in all areas close to me...ugh. Could you just go to the zoo ya old fleabag! I am sick of winter and so much more prefer the company of a cute cuddly lamb.
It is time to say good-bye to the Mirth Girth! I will measure tomorrow.
More news, today was officially the first day of the Driven to Quit Challenge. For those of you that are not Ontarians, it is a quit smoking challenge. One day down and the rest of my life to go. Hublet has also joined the challenge but he is a grumpy nicotine gum chewer where I opted for the patch. He thought that going cold turkey would be easy for him....lol. I laughed a hearty laugh at him and looked at him sternly and said, "For the love of all that you hold dear to you and for the sake of your wife and daughter, please, PLEASE do not do that!". Hublet's nickname is Grumpy, and it is not because he looks like one of the seven dwarves. Can you imagine how fast I would be running to buy him a pack of smokes if he didn't use anything to help him quit....lol. I have seen him try to do that before. It is frightening to say the least. I would have to write a horror novel about the crazed nicotine deprived Grump! Okay so this is the last I am mentioning it because it has now become a taboo subject in our house...lol. I must also remember to NOT ask him how his day was...lol.
So Kim let me kow if you up officially up for the challenge now that I have told all of spaces about it...lol.
Cheers kiddies!

ps Kari no worries girl, I am not hiding, just hibernating until this friggin' snow takes leave of my world..lol 2月11日 Thought for the day?"Life is like a jar of jalapenos. What you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow". 1月30日 Steppin' It UpI wanted to talk a little bit about the WW meeting this past Saturday. It was all about getting moving. We first made a long list of why we didn't exercise. Hate it, No time for it, Not any fun, It hurts, blah, blah, blah. If you can think of a reason, it was likely there. Then we made a list of reasons for exercising. Honestly I think we all know how healthy and beneficial it is for us so I don't need to reiterate that list..lol. Well our leader provided us with a challenge for this week. If, on Saturday we arrive to the meeting and we beat the number of minutes that she exercised this week, we would have our names put in a draw. I have taken the challenge to heart and have exercised Saturday, Sunday and today. In the spirit of not driving myself crazy with repetitive exercise my darling Hublet rescued my old manual stepping thing from the abyss of our back kitchen. The back kitchen is the place where all things that don't fit in the house go as well as things that we don't use. We are in dire need of purging back there but thank goodness I didn't purge the old stepper...lol. The back kitchen is also the place where my exercise bike was rescued from. It no longer is adorned with electrical cords...lol. My little exercise haven is starting to shape up. This weekend I purchased a nice comfy foam pad to do my crunches on. It is a thing of beauty and oh so soft. I am trying to make exercising something I want to do by providing myself with a space that makes me want to go there. So far so good! I stepped it up tonight for the first time in years and it was fun to do something else other than riding the bike. Me arse thanked me as well...lol.
Good news on my friend who joined WW. She lost another 2 lbs this week and is now down 4.9 lbs. I am very proud of her. This week she brought along a friend to join as well. The more the merrier I say! I am firm believer in surrounding yourself with as much support as possible. It helps to make the task not seem so much like a task.
So I wrote down the songs from my Sunday bike ride (minus the spiders..I scared them back into their web hell...hehe). So here is the Sunday Soundtrack:
1. Nova Heart - The Spoons
2. Annie I'm Not your Daddy - Kid Creole & the Coconuts
3. Love Generation - Bob Sinclair
4. Grace Kelly - Mika
5. The Night Chicago Died - Paper Lace
6. Powerless - Nelly Furtado
7. Do You Wanna Hold Me? - Bow Wow Wow
8. Tears on your Anorak - The Drivers
9. She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult
So there you have it my friends.
Great losing to you all and a special hug fest for Kari and John for doing so well with learning to eat healthy again as well as getting their butts moving!
Cheers,
moe 1月27日 The Misadventures of Miss Muffet and her BikeSo Tuesday I decided to go downstairs and ride my bike to get a little exercise. Doesn't seem to be too much trauma in that really, but wait.... I go downtairs to the laundry room where I have a rag tag gym set up and put on my mp3 player and begin to ride. Something is missing...hmmm...crap I forgot the baby monitor. Hublet was working and I was going to be out of hearing distance if the Boots awoke. I get off the bike, climb back up the stairs and over the newly installed baby gate and grab the monitor. I straddle the gate again and head back downstairs. I get on the bike and then I start riding. I ride through one song and I start having these panic feelings. I gave Boots peanutbutter and graham crackers tonight and although I know she has never had a reaction to peanuts or peanutbutter before I feel tense about it. I get off the bike (I know you guys are all thinking I was looking for ways to get out of exercising...lol) and go upstairs, over the gate and then up another flight of stairs to Boots room. She is sleeping soundly and didn't mind so much that I was aiming a flashlight directly at her face to make sure she was breathing okay. I have become a psycho mother I think. So I head back downstairs, over the gate, down more stairs and get back into the laundry room and onto my bike. Start up the mp3 player and continue my ride. Shortly after I felt as though someone was watching me. I look to my side and there is an ugly old spider dangling from the ceiling. It startled me so much to see it there that when I batted it away, I turned too sharply and my poor knee came up and dinged the tension control on the bike. It wasn't just a little ding though. I screeched in pain. Many unfavourable words flew past my lips. Not very ladylike to be sure. I soldiered on though and continued with my ride as I was now determined to complete the task at hand. My knee was screaming in pain but I was so irked by that spider I rode out the anger. Well it seems that perhaps the laundry room in the basement of an old farm house is not the best place for my little exercise haven. Apparently that spider that I sent sailing across the room came back with friends. Not one, but two more decided to slank their way down their little web strings on the other side of me. I sent them sailing too. There was no way that nasty little spiders were going to scare Little Moe Muffet from her tuffet ...er...bike that day. Ride was completed.
For your entertainment pleasure I thought I would periodically post my music that makes me Move It! Move It! Here is the soundtrack from Tuesday night:
1. Arias & Symphony - The Spoons
2. Peter Pumpkinhead - Crash Test Dummies
3. Pretty Vegas - INXS
4. Kings of the Wild Frontier - Adam and the Ants
5. Grace Kelly - Mika
6. Born to be Alive - Patrick Hernandez
7. Political - Spirit of the West
8. Fantastic Day - Haircut 100
9. Take Me Out - Franz Ferdinand
If you only knew what I have loaded on my MP3 player...lol
Great losing to you all!
Cheers,
moe |
