dimiqueen 

I did not get up and ride the bike or go for a walk, and when I got home I got distracted by the TV.

late day at work. It was a 12 hr day and by the time I got home, there was just nothing left in me to get in exercise.  I will try to get it in first thing in the morning if I can drag myself out of bed.

first day back to work and everything took twice as long as it should.  Getting up before the sun was super painful!!!!

Picture:  I was searching around for more things to take pictures of.  The apple was still by the lightbox and then I found this wooden snake, i couldn't resist putting them together

The weather was turning this morning so the light was not very good for taking pictures.  I did go for a walk.  But did not get any pictures outside.

Picture: I took this one inside in my homemade light box

Went for a walk 1st thing with the camera.

Went for a walk and got some pictures so not so many aerobic steps.

Merry Christmas everyone!

The girls are old enough now that they sleep in until noon.  So rather than ride the bike this morning, I went out to get some pictures this morning.

I made one last quick trip out to get new Christmas stockings fr the girls.  Otherwise it was a very quiet day at home playing video games.

I have the next two weeks off of work.    We are not going anywhere for Christmas, so I  am hoping to use this time to get back on track. This weekend did not get off to a good start as we had to put one of our dogs to sleep.  So it has been a hard couple of days.

My mom had a stationary bike that she wasn't really using so I claimed it and brought it home.  I managed to get in 30 min on it 1st thing this morning.  We have an elliptical, but I do not much like it.  So not the husband can do/be on the elliptical while I am on the bike.  They take up quite a bit of room, but if we will use them I think it is worth it.  Now if only we had a TV in that room.....

WOW.  I took out my pedometer at the end of the day and it said 9076 steps!  How crazy is that, I guess there is something to be said for grocery shopping!!!

I feel a little like I am cheating counting the bike ride, but I really need to get active and this helps me keep track of how active I am.

A quiet restful day at home.
