Gym Jam

Today my daddy came to Little Rock. He brought with him his black lab, Gunner. Daddy has gout in his feet. I said let me take Gunner for a walk around the block. Let me just say Gunner took me for the walk. We started off walking, then we graduated to trotting, then we went to running, then we went to me flying through the air hanging on to the leash for dear life!!! Evidently, when a lab has been in a vehicle for 4 hours riding he gets pretty wild and crazy when he gets out. He used me for his play thing.

Today I went to Lake Valencia for a 1 1/4 mile walk. Was a beautiful morning. Just the right temperature. Sun was shining. You really do feel better after a walk of any kind. Husband went with me. Husband did not walk. But he drove me up there. Of course he had to dispute the signage at the lake that clear states it is a 1 1/4 mile. He said it is more like a 1/2 mile. Why does he think he knows everything??????

Kids for those of you who are not familiar with The Spudnut Shoppe in El Dorado, Arkansas well let me bring you up to speed. It is a doughnut place that has been in El Do for decades. They make, without a doubt, the best doughnuts in the world! Krispee Kremes have absolutely nothing on a Spudnut.

So yesterday the Husband and I go to El Do to put up a Christmas tree for Dan. We were there early in the day so we thought we would go to the Spudnut Shoppe on the off chance it was open. This place is only open a few hours a day and we figured the day after T'giving they might be closed.

Our eyes glazed over (pardon the pun) when we saw the cars lined up outside the place meaning they were open. We bought a dozen. We decided this would last several, several days for just us 2 people. STUPID STUPID STUPID US.

We ate 2 each on the ride home. We ate 2 each last night watching TV. We ate 1 each for breakfast.And now there are 2 lousy doughnuts left and we have only had them in our possession for LESS THAN 24 HOURS!!!!!!

Walking trail here I come. I will be the one with the Spudnuts all over my bubble butt.

My daughter talked me into buying Spanx. They make it in plus size now she said. Now friends, it is one heck of a marketing company that can make a plus size person believe that a $ 30 piece of spandex is going to make them look smooth and svelte.
I got the Spanx that you pull on and it goes past the mid section and up under the bra. If I had been thinking clearly, I would have realized this was not the smartest thing I have ever done. The contortions I went thru to put on said Spanx. Then I got to thinking about the contortion I would have to do at work to take the Spanx off everytime I went to the bathroom. Unfortunately, I didn't have this light bulb moment until after I got to work and was parking my car. So bottom line..............I didn't pee all day. It was just to much trouble. Once the Spanx is on, ain't nothing but God and a pair of scissors can get it off.

Well who would a thunk it? I lost 2 more pounds this month. I hope you can tell on the picture I am holding out the waist band on my pants.

Sunday, I cleaned out a bedroom so I could have a place to put my little orange desk. I moved furniture, books, etc. And now 2 days later I can barely walk. My whole body hurts. But this is where I come to you when I type (see picture).

So I go to a business forum yesterday. It was good. However, I can't escape exercise anywhere I go. We had a freaking workout break!!!!! We had to bring 2 canned goods for the food pantry. But before we handed those in we had to do a mini workout using the cans as weights. No I didn't whine about it. Well I really did but only to myself.LOL

This a.m. I turned on my directv music channels to the 60s bubble gum station. They keyed up Chubby Checker and I did the twist for at least 10 minutes. I never knew that song was that long. Then I did hand weights to the tune of "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to". Then I vacuumed my house to the Beatles singing "I wanna hold your hand". And that friends concludes today's mini workout.

I walked (briskly) for 1/2 mile at 7:30 am today. Got to get back with the program... I bought a table at an estate sale yesterday for $ 5 bucks. Came home and painted it Fireside Orange. I am going to count that as some exercise activity. Mainly because I would have never done that before. I am making a small bedroom into my office. I wanted a desk that didn't start out life as a desk. Thus my new orange table/desk! Now when I go to pay bills I will smile first because I do love the color orange!!!

No, I haven't fallen off the face of the earth. That would have taken exercise and quite frankly that ain't been happening. I am bad. I know that. Most, well actually all, of my routine has consisted of running the floors of the building where I work. I thought these new hours would be easier to fit workouts in. Well I was wrong (as I sit here drinking a full octane coca cola). Which BTW, I tried giving them up. That lasted 1 day. The caffeine headaches are too fierce.

Gotta get it in gear. Just wanted to touch base. Hope you are doing better than me. Laters!
