I LIKED THIS.... THOUGHT I WOULD PASS IT ON

FOR THOSE DAYS WHEN IT SEEMS HARD TO GET MOTIVATED FOR A WORK OUT

THIS SOMEHOW MAKES IT SEEM ACHIEVABLE.

WATERSKI.

This weekend we went on a boat ride with our friends the Belnaps. We put the boat in at Palisades reservior and road all the way down to Alpine Wy. where we docked the boat and walked into town and had a burger at the Cheeseburger Factory. It was a beautiful day and the chance to waterski again was really getting to me, so after 10 plus years and 4 tries I was up and waterskiing. It felt great. What a great day, beautiful weather, good food, and great friends.

THANKS BELNAPS!

BLOG? STEPS? BLOG? STEPS?

THAT IS THE QUESTION. NOW THAT I HAVE GIVEN MYSELF THE CHALLENGE OF 10,000 STEPS A DAY I HAVE A DILEMA, AND THAT IS EITHER MY BLOGGING OR MY STEPS WILL HAVE TO GIVE A LITTLE. I LOVE MY TIME BLOGGING, BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY IF THAT PEDOMETER DOESNT HAVE AT LEAST 10,000 STEP ON IT I AM NOT GOING TO BE HAPPY. CALL ME OBSESSED, BUT MY TEAM GOT COMPLETELY SLAUGHTERED LAST WEEK EVEN THOUGH I THINK THE DECK IS STACKED AGAINST US, BUT I AM GOING TO GET MY 10,000 STEPS A DAY NO MATTER WHAT. I HAVE FOUND THAT TUESDAYS ARE THE HARDEST DAY TO GET MY STEPS IN. I ONLY WORK 1/2 DAY AND DON'T GET HARDLY ANY STEPS IN YOGA CLASS. SO TONIGHT AT 8PM AND ONLY 6500 STEPS I HAD A LONG WALK AHEAD OF ME BUT BY THE TIME I GOT BACK I HAD 1100+ STEPS. HURRAY!!. AND I REALLY DON'T WANT TO GET RID OF MY YOGA CLASS. SO THIS IS GOING TO BE A BALANCING ACT TO GET EVERYTHING IN EACH DAY. I THINK I HAVE TO PLAN MY DAYS NOW. HMMM? WHAT A NOVEL IDEA. (STILL WAITING TO GET MY GLACIER PICTURES ON HERE. )

JACKSON HOLE

THIS WEEKEND WE WENT TO JACKSON HOLE, WYOMING WHERE WE MET CLIX AND JULIE. WE WENT TO JENNYS LAKE AND TOOK THE HIKE UP TO THE HIDDEN WATERFALL, SPENT SOME TIME BROWSING IN TOWN AND THEN FINISHED THE NIGHT EATING DINNER AT THE MERRY PIGLETS...YUMMY. THE WEATHER COULDN'T HAVE BEEN BETTER...WE WERE SO GLAD JULIE CAME UP.

LANDSCAPING UPDATE....CLOSER EVERYDAY

BARK DONE!!

NEW CHALLENGE

THIS WEEK I STARTED A NEW EXERCISE CHALLENGE. I HAVE BEEN ATTENDING A CONDITIONING CLASS AT MT. VIEW HOSPITAL AND LOVE IT. THE INSTRUCTOR IS ALWAYS CHALLENGING US AND EVERY CLASS IS DIFFERENT SO WE GET ALOT OF VARIETY AND ALWAYS GET A FULL BODY WORKOUT. IT IS A GREAT CLASS AND I ALWAYS LEAVE SWEATY AND KNOWING THAT I HAD A GOOD WORK OUT. THIS WEEK THE HOSPITAL ALONG WITH A LOCAL BUSINESS IS SPONSORING A DESTINATIONS CHALLENGE TO ANYONE WHO WANT TO PARTICIPATE. ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS BUY THE PEDOMETER AND WEAR IT. THE GOAL: REACH THE WEEKLY DESTINATION. EACH PARTICIPANT IS PUT IN A GROUP AND WE ARE ENCOURAGED TO GET AT LEAST 6000 STEPS A DAY(THERE ARE 2000 STEPS IN A MILE) (A PERSON NEEDS 10,000 STEPS A DAY FOR A HEALTHY HEART). WE COMBINE OUR STEPS AT THE END OF THE WEEK TO SEE IF YOUR TEAM REACHES ITS DESTINATION. THEY GIVE PRIZES EACH WEEK AND THE PERSON WITH THE MOST OVERALL STEPS ALSO GETS A PRIZE. THIS WEEKS DESTINATION IS MT. RUSHMORE... EVERY WEEK WILL BE A DIFFERENT DESTINATION.

I HAVE FOUND THAT IT IS VERY EASY FOR ME TO 6000 STEPS A DAY, BUT MY PERSONAL GOAL IS 10,000 STEPS, HOWEVER LAST NIGHT AT 10PM I WAS ABOUT 200 STEPS SHORT EVEN AFTER JEFF AND I PUT DOWN A YARD OF BARK IN THE BACK YARD, SO I WENT OUTSIDE AND RAN AROUND THE FRONT LAWN 3 TIMES TO GET ALL MY STEPS IN. NOT SURE IF THE NEIGHBORS WERE WATCHING AND WHAT THEY MIGHT HAVE BEEN THINKING? :) I WOULD SAY IT IS A GOOD MOTIVATOR, WOULDN'T YOU?

NOTE: FOR ANYONE WHO LIKES TO BIKE, THE PEDOMETER DID REGISTER SOME STEPS. I RODE 5 MILES AND IT GAVE ME APPROX. 2000 STEPS. BETTER THAN NOTHING I'D SAY. WISH ME LUCK!
