Update for Monday, the 10th day!

Here it is, day 10 of the new year. AND I've done nothing substantial for working out!

I've been sick and have finally started to feel better but still have a wicked sore throat that keeps me awake at night, actually makes my eyes tear up :( I'm quite certain that I've lost a few pounds since we came back from our trip as my appetite has been next to nothing (plus it hurts to swallow, doh) ...

I'm really looking forward to this evening and attempting to go for a walk. One lonely mile. To the end of the street and back. Not much to write home about but it's something which is better than nothing!

The Ipod is charged. The shoes are laced. Shorts and tshirt with socks are set out. Just need to do it.

How has everyone else been doing? Motivated? Not so much?

101 of anything

I was screwing around with a red strappy rubber thingy from the Wii the other day and was telling Princess how wimpy it was, that this would never do anything for anyone.

She told me to do like the 101st Airborne Division and do 101 reps.

Whoa. She's right!

101 reps and this thing could have been a 100 lb dumbbell. Whew. My biceps were cramped so bad it almost wasn't funny.

Go ahead, give it a try. Pick a ridiculously low weight and do 101 reps with no breaks. Tell me that 3lb weight was NOTHING!
