remission

Well, hi there. It has been three days, I think, and it's not like I haven't done ANYTHING, but I haven't run or done a situp or a downward facing dog.
It all started with babysitting which involved sitting down for 2 seconds only to pop up again for a child's need. Walk halfway across the room only to be called back to get something for a kid. A straw for the juice. No, a red one, not a green one. Shoes on. Shoes off. Outside to play. Back in again. All of this entailing absolutley no aerobics.
I spent the night with the little dumplings and slept but not that great and went off to work the next morning with no exercise and, voila', no exercise the next day either. Miss a day, miss a month. That's how it goes.
So today is Sunday. My only task is to make waffles (yeah, that's really on the diet program). Jog up the hill I must. It's only a little windy. I will slug through it. We don't have the wind they have down in town. Some people were without power for a week. Lost roofs, trees toppled. The west side by the mountains is a disaster area.
And!!! I got new running shoes. Nikes. The fit me well. The arch is in just the right place. I've seen other great running shoes but don't get out to a store to try them on, so, Nikes come to my door via UPS. My old shoes were cracked and the stuffing was coming out. My new ones aren't quite as sturdy and have mesh that breathes a little too much for cold weather, but I'll suck it up. Wear warm socks.
Off I go.
