Did I or Didn’t I? CRAZY Woman in the House!
I had a fun-filled day with DH, DS and friends. We started our day by ice-skating for 45 minutes, followed by cleaning the house and then going out for Indian food. We ended our day by walking around DT for approximately 3 hours. By the time it was all said and done, my feet hurt and my legs felt sore, but I didn’t have a conventional workout at the gym. So my question is…DID I or DID I NOT earn my exercise star for the day?
I don’t feel as if I got a workout but I “exercised” for about 3-1/2 hours, give or take little breaks here and there. I am leaning towards NOT counting yesterday’s activities as part of a workout, but I am not sure! Indecision is the root of all evil! 
Anyway, I re-read yesterday’s blog—what in the world got to me? It was crazy!! Crazy woman in the house! Seriously, I know I have been doing some serious self-sabotaging, but for a minute there, I lost my mind. The idea is to develop life-long healthy habits, no matter how long it takes. Yes, I want to reach my goal this year, but reading my blog I realize, I need to CHILAX!
I have to catch up on some blogs which I will do later today! Buddies, have a great week!

I say its a workout! If an activity isnt in the gym doesnt mean it doesnt count..or if you had a good time doing it, doesnt make it any less of a workout. Curious to see what everyone else says lol.

Freakin’ crazy is right!!! So glad you are back on it Cookie!
I say call it a workout, too! I count my shopping yesterday as one. Of course for the first half of the day I had a 10ish pound baby strapped to my chest!
Now thats the best kind of exercise.
It didn’t feel like a workout at all.
You had fun and I’d definitely say you earned your star.
Sounds like you had a fabulous day Crazy Woman
LOL
We all get crazy now and then and come down too hard on ourselves. Just glad you realize it.
Chilaxing is good for the soul.

Hi Jo! If it was a workout why do you have to get confirmation that it’s okay to call it a workout? Is that part of the deal that you made with yourself? If so, then yes call it a work out if not then no. Jo, we both started this journey in 2006 so how do we pass the breaking point? When do we sit down and say ok, what do I do differently that has not worked all the othe times. Of course, I wanted to do the atkins but it did not work all the other time just like you said. So, lets figure this thing out and get off the merry-go-round. Sorry, but this was a pep talk for myself also.
Luv ya!
Jo, I don’t believe you have to “go to the gym” to get a workout in. Yes, it helps to target areas, and deicate that time solely for your body…but, it can be done without it. And, not for nothing, but I would much rather get my exercise in…enjoying the outdoors, and spending time with my family. No doubt you burned enough calories yesterday. Keep it fun…and do this smiling…like everyone says it is a journey, so you may as well make it a happy one!
And, I want to share with you, what I ealier share with my team members…I think it is a very strong saying…”Achievement is assured the moment you commit yourself”. You can do this!
