I haven't been able to do any blogging in days...maybe even weeks if I had time to look at dates.
So I finally came up for air...and I'm rapidly treading water here guys. I had a moment in between projects at work so I quickly opened up text pad and I'm acting like I'm taking notes on something really important!! Since when did work get in the way of my blogging...hmm maybe I need to add "priorities" to that never ending new years resolutions list! Hmm
So I made a pact with Kansas Queen, well that's if you can call it a pact, I really did nothing more than screw myself and then shoot myselt in the foot!! My pact was that I have to exercise at least 20 minutes a day. If I don't exercise my penalties are no emailing, and that means no reading or writing of emails.
We started this pact January 1st and needless to say I've only been able to read emails twice since the new year! Yeah we're off to a great start here aren't we!!
So last night I set the alarm clock for 4AM, I usually love getting up at this hour, but not this morning. I set it again to 5AM...yeah right. I finally got up 6:11 AM as it was pretty hard to sleep while Baby C sang at the top of her lungs downstairs. (Big C gets her up and dressed in the morning and she's a cheery little bugger in the mornings!)
I was finally dressed and ready at 6:50AM and I let the cloggs in my brain spin on a plan to exercise before leaving so that I could finally read my emails after days of email depravity. (Yes email is like caffiene to me!).

So here I am folks...reading emails, blogging, and I've even exercised!!!
I guess I'd better get back to work...all these paragraphs and exclamation points are never going to pass off as work notes are they!
Girl, you are too funny! How cool is that, that you are exercising with the baby in tow. That's too cool! I'm proud of you for taking on this challenge. But wouldn't you consider it cruel and unusual punishment NOT to be able to read or write emails? That's just WRONG! WRONG I tell ya!!! :-)LOL
ReplyDeleteWhat a good idea! A sixteen pound and no trip to Academy necessary!
ReplyDeleteOK, i was beginnning to wonder where you were!!LOL. I cannot imagine treadmilling it with the baby on...you are a real women! I did workout the other day...with the help of Emerson who kept laying under me laughing as i tried, note the word "tried" to do push ups. :)
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! I'm so impressed that you made that sort of pact and am sticking with it! I'd SO break the pact behind my friend's back. LOL Cannot miss emails or blogging!!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, though! I so bad need to get exercising again too. Got about 10 pounds I'd like to get rid of!!
Wow I had no idea that your e-mails were like water to your fire. Shoot that's intiresting. I could not possibly have that pact though. If I did I would never have started an e-mail address orblog in the first place!!! LOL!
ReplyDeleteWell, good luck on your exersizing! That's a real good habit to pick up! -Karla
You are a dynamo..and funny too! You go!!
ReplyDeleteI think you are my new hero for being up to this challenge! O am tired just reading about it! : )
Take care now...
Love and hugs,
Sue
Hey Sweating is good....my husband always says, don't know if it's a fact or not, but when you're exercising...if you aren't sweating you're not doing a thing :)
ReplyDeleteGood for you being ambitious!!
Jen you're hilarious...my husband says the same thing amongst other things that I simply can't put on this blog!!!
ReplyDeleteNow if I could only find your blog I'd be well on my way...hope you stop by again and give me link to your blog..then again I might be visiting it all ready and just have no clue! :0)
Ahh Jen I found you already!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is dedication because when Qenya wakes up before I exercise in the morning, it is usually an excuse not to do it. Mainly because that is my 15 minutes to zone out without hearing "Mommy", "Mommy" every 30 seconds. I love hearing her voice but not when I am exercising and zoning out. Plus, I agree with Dawn that it is cruel to yourself and others to be email deprived. I realize, I am addicted but not seeking help. However, if no emailing makes you physically healthier, I support you, Girl!
ReplyDeleteGood for people to know.
