From my life.
This week has been hard.
Three trips in one week.
Overpacked schedule.
Drama from new heart rate monitor.
I took charge of my day.
Decided to visit my parents.
Packed up James and the dogs.
Headed to my childhood home.
My folks were happy to see me.
We shared stories of adventures and memories.
Goofed around with the camera in my phone.
Played with [...]

Darn heart rate monitor!
Today I used my monitor for first time with the elliptical.
I was excited.
What would my real numbers say?
I was thinking big.
And boy was I wrong!
My monitor calories burned were 100 less than the machine numbers.
In spite of working hard.
Setting a new personal record for timed distance.
Drama Queen engaged as I stomped [...]

No hiding now.
Mollie convinced me to buy a heart rate monitor.
It gives me constant communication about my heart.
A band goes around my chest.
Sends data to the watch on my wrist.

I glisten easily.
And turn bright red.
Doesn’t that mean I’m working hard?
I used the monitor for the first [...]

ARGH.
Finished my third trip of the week last night.
Hopped on the scale this morning.
My gut clenched.
Did I gain again?
I didn’t.
I was down a half pound.
My mind still went wild.
Thankful I wasn’t all the way back up to THAT number.
I’m anchored to an old weight.
Always measuring against it.
Instead of looking ahead.
One foot in the past.
People can [...]

Maybe? Maybe not?
It’s the question of the day…
I got a lot fitter in 2011.
And still have a ways to go.
Asked myself if I really want to get thinner.
Trying to be real with myself…
I always gain weight on the road.
My exercise log has some cardio gaps.
I don’t like to log my food.
If actions speak louder than [...]
