I found this post in my drafts folder from May 2nd 2011. As it is relevant to what’s been going on with my overall attempts to get fit and develop better health habits, I thought I’d go ahead and post it first, and then follow up with a fall 2011 and current update on where [...]

New Prizes for the “I hate to Exercise” program
Posted in Glass Status Report, tagged exercise, technology on February 25, 2011 | 2 Comments »
OK, So after reaching my goal, I then promptly took 3 days off* from “deliberately exercising every day” and realized I *really* needed a prize/goad to make me continue the routine. After considering and discarding “a kitten,”** any number of food-related rewards, and in fact anything that cost any significant amount of time or $, [...]

So, been a while since I last posted about the exercise program, ’cause it has been..um..intense here at work (lots of things due all at once), and *something* had to go – so posting updates to my blog was put on hold. BUT, exercising continued. Not at the pace I would have liked (7 days a [...]

Where I do a bit better on the exercise – but not as well on the eating. (Not sure what’s going on? Visit the PLAN.) So last week my goal was simply to memorize the 5 minute warm up, and do it 5/7 days. This week’s goal was to add the “cool down” stretches to the [...]

Where I find out how REALLY out of shape I am! So in episode 7 I found an exercise plan to work on, and decided that the 1st week I was JUST going to memorize the 5 minute warm up. That’s it. DO deliberate, planned exercise for 5 minutes a day, for at least 5 days. Focus [...]

Where I actually – no joke- make a plan to actually exercise. So, it’s been 6+ months since my last “I hate to exercise” post, and I’d though I’d give an update. Through the holiday eating season, I managed to *stay the same weight.* I was manic, I’ll admit, and that burns some extra calories, [...]

Ok, it has been over a year since the last episode. I haven’t really come up with any new or interesting activity, but I thought I’d give an update. Pleas remember that my 44th birthday is coming up and that I am at least 40 lbs over the supposedly maximum acceptable weight for my height and [...]

Practice random acts of kindess – doo good things that make you have to exercise. Leave parking spaces nearer the doors or the cart return for others – park farther away. You do a good turn and you have to walk a bit further too. Return an extra cart in the parking lot – make [...]

OK – I am now proud to report that I take the stairs down 4 flights from my car every work day. Regardless of how I feel, how sleepy I am, what the weather is, what i am carrying, etc. In fact, I have event said as I get out of the car, “this is an elevator [...]

OK, so a few years ago I told my Dr I wanted to exercise and he said – Drink 1 gallon of water a day. ONE GALLON. I, and my nurse friend decided he was insane, but given that I drank almost NO water at all (bad for you – especially the kidneys) we decided [...]
