When I Really Don't Feel Like Blogging

I'm having one of those weeks where I could blog about a lot of different things... but I just don't want to.  Posting on this blog has been a real discipline for me. It's something I make myself do to remind myself who's boss!  1st Corinthians 9:27 says:

I keep my body under control and make it my slave...

and that's what I'm trying to do by blogging regularly.  Keep my body and my mind under control.  Telling Netflix "you don't rule my life!" by blogging before I watch something makes me feel like I'm not wasting as much time.  You know?  

Anyways, these last few days I could have told you all about

• the new workout video that I started doing
• the plane tickets that I won
• the weddings I went to this past weekend 
• the flat tire fiasco I had on the way to my much needed hair appointment concluding with the new tire install annoyance
• Vandis sleeping on his tummy
• Peyton no longer even trying to be potty trained outside the house
• the new volunteer position I have taken up in my church's youth group
• the new volunteer position I have taken up in BSF
• the old and loved volunteer position with ALIVE that I have temporarily let go of because of my graphic design class

I mean... I have stuff.  Lot's of stuff.  I just haven't been disciplined enough to write about it!

Here's what I'll do.  Since I am good with lists and plans... I will just kind of run down that list and post every day one or 2 of those things!  Consider those bullet points as tiny commercials to what my next few posts will be like.  If that list looks like the most boring commercial you have ever seen than come back in a few days and see if I'm done being boring :)

I'll start tonight by telling you about this new workout video I found on Netflix Instant Watch.  It's called Crunch: Super Slim Down.  

Since Ryan has been gone I have been eating a LOT.  I don't know if any of you can relate to realizing that that person you are just a little bit embarrassed or proud to eat too much in front of being gone and you just eating, and eating, and eating because you have no accountability.  I am like that.  Totally.  In the spirit of keeping my body under control, I knew I needed to make a change.

I've realized that I can't eat all that food and still be happy with how I look or how I feel.  So that means I have to eat less and work out more.  And my more, I mean more than the nothing that I do now.  And by nothing that I do now, I mean the nothing that I did 2 weeks ago.  'Cuz I totally work out now.

The video is about 40 minutes long and I do it at night or during the kid's nap time.  Peyton does not like it when I do it in front of her.  Which is AWESOME.  Not.

The instructor is super nice and I like listening to her.  I really feel great after I'm done with it and I totally get a work out!  The last few minutes before the cool-down are super intense!  But it's great!

All you need is a yoga mat, but doing it on carpet might work too.  

If you are looking for a way to get more active, I'd recommend Crunch: Super Slim Down!

You should tell me of any videos you like, I'm bound to get bored of this routine sometime soon :)
