True to the way my life goes, I complain about something and then it all works out. Case in point. . .my last post and what actually happened on Monday night. My team had a huge turn out, and contrary to what I thought was true. . . . we ALL worked out, but 3 people did do a bit more. We started out by doing 20 jumping jacks right there on the side walk across from the Lied Center. . . I was just praying that I wouldn't pee myself with each jumping jack. I would venture to guess that a lot of other females in the group were praying the same prayer. After jumping jacks, the 3 people took off on their adventure, and the rest of us (10) were given a clue and told it was non timed and non competitive. We were to find some naked bodies downtown. We came in dead last because we found EVERY stinking thing that resembled a naked body besides what we were supposed to find. SO one hour later, and jogging all over downtown Lincoln, we finally found some naked bodies on a building across from the capitol. Instead of the 1.8 miles we were supposed to do, I'd say we were double that. We all agreed that we wanted to burn some fat, so most of us jogged a lot of it. It was fun and felt good. I hope no one I know saw me jogging down O street though, trust me, it ain't pretty. I don't even care that we got lost, or came in dead last. . . it was the idea that in the end we all got to participate in some way and didn't have to stand on the sidewalk like the fat kid no one wants on their team.
Tonight, a friend and I went on a fast walk, and I jogged about the last 1/8 of a mile home. I have made it a goal to jog at least 1 full mile without stopping by Thanksgiving. I did get summoned for federal jury duty the entire month of November, it better not interfere with my exercising. I know it is my civil duty, but it is also my duty to maintain my quest for health.
Back on the scale this coming Monday, so keep on keepin' on. . . .
