Excuses, Excuses, Excuses….
I have so MANY wonderful excuses these days. And they’re totally legitimate too! Like, TOM was around giving me cramps from the netherword from which he hails, then I did some dumb thing to my hip (still not sure what) and I was walkin’ around like a gymp (at least my daughters got a good laugh out of that), then…without too many details here…I wore some old pants while working out and ended up with some chafing on my legs…talk about pain!
There’s so many good ones, I’ve really got my pick! But …. I’m not using them? *gasp* What??? I’m NOT?
Nope.
I am woman…hear me….wimper while crawling back on the treadmill. But crawl back on I do!!
I used to MAKE excuses so I wouldn’t have to work out…but not anymore. Every time I get a great, legitimate excuse….I freak out and rush to a workout before I can talk myself into not working out! I’m so scared I’ll talk myself OUT of it, that I talk myself INTO it!! I’m doing the hokey pokey without taking “my whole self” out! LOL! I guess that leaves me standing there shaking it all about!! Shake with me people!!
Yeah, I’m a head case all right. But hey, what ever gets you going eh?? LOL!
AAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand………not only am I STILL doing my treadmilling and all that jazz….I’ve bumped up my game and gone from 2.5 to 3 miles!! In the same time limit!! So Wooo-hoo baby!!
To quote a WONDERFUL song from the Rocky Soundtrack (thanks again Mary girl!):
“hearts on fire
strong desire
rages deep within
hearts on fire
fever’s rising high
the moment of truth draws near”
Here’s to firing up our hearts!!!

I just love your blogs….I know you are probably thinking “What’s she doing on here so late at night?” Had to stop by the office to transfer all my “movin and shakin” music to my phone. WOOHOO new tunes! I’ll see your three miles and raise you a half mile. Come on girl it’s only another 1,000 steps!
First of all let me congratulate you on your progress and your commitment. Who wants to work out when Tom’s around? Ugh!! But you have and no wonder you’ve been so sucessful. I need to hangout with you…maybe I will learn my osmosis!! LOL!!
Keep up the amazing job!
CHEERS! A toast to firing up our hearts to fuel our feet!! Glad to see your motivated this week as well! It’s a gonna be a good weigh-in tomorrow… I can feel it!
You are so funny! *sigh* I burned a few calories just reading your blog! Hang in there lady… if you figure out how to get rid of Tom let me know. :0)
Great Job Chai…you are always such a motivator for me. Even when you don’t feel like it you do what you need to do to get the job done..you are an inspiration.

AWESOME!!! Way to know yourself and know how those excuses work! I am still fumbling htough those things. I, too, am masterful at excuses and rationalizing and still look for them now and again. i’m going to think of you now as a way to stop that sillyness!
