cooking challenges and exercise
|
I had come upstairs to research why the
cottage cheese in my Mac N Cheese formed globs instead of the nice
creamy sauce I envisioned. I came across a blog site of someone,
and hey, I remember I had a blog site too. Since I have not
discovered the cause of my cheese challenge, I decided to write to no
one in particular about it. That is better than watching my
daughter eat it one tiny nibble at a time. It tastes fine, but
she is the queen of texture pickiness. When I told her to eat it in a
couple of big bites, she looked about to cry. I remember the Ben
Franklin quote we had read today "Every little makes a mickle."
So I will let her make her mickle on her own and stay far away. Today I have decided to take up a new form of exercise. Something I hate to do, but I am desperate. My bum is continuing to grow despite my 3 days of Jazzercise. I will take up a running program. I found a good website called Running for Women. Today will be my first day of this program. Of course I must modify it. I am addicted to my gadgets. I have a heart rate monitor, so I will use that to push me into my heart rate zone, without going to high. The program has me running 1 minute, and walking for 5...However my watch only has one timer, and I know that I will get a better workout if I am not looking at my watch the whole time. So I will run for 5 and walk for 5 for 40 minutes. I think the word run is a misnomer. I can't imagine that I will be running full out, but probably doing a jog. At first the day was rainy and I thought that this would cancel out my run. I will run in the rain but not a storm. However the sun has come out so I believe I can do my run while the kids are in karate. I will add another gadget to my running array - an MP3 player. I might as well be inspired by music while I exercise. Time to get ready for my afternoon. |
