one month ten days doing good

One Month and ten days in and still doing good.......

·         Running and walking.  Today I ran to the post office non-stop with my legs feeling like gust of wind that never wanted to stop.  I could out run a tornado as it spins and twists threw the sky. Feeling a wonderful stretch a smile springs up on my face.  I feel as if I can out-run anything. I love this feeling, and not doing it to often makes me sad.  Sad like the when the rain is falling and no one is outside or when a dog has lost its bark forever.  I yearn to do it more often and that is what I will do.

·         Pushups.  I can really feel the muscles in my arms getting stronger.  Stretching and growing.  Becoming stronger. So strong that I could lift up a grown elephant. When I do my pushups I feel as if can do anything at all.  Like climb the Empire State Building or fly or even solve a great mystery.  It’s like I have changed genders as I switched from girl pushups to boy pushups but the whole time I have stayed the same.

·         Sit-ups. When I do my sit-ups my mind and soul leave me and let my body do its job.   The mind and soul hop on the butterfly express and travels somewhere warm and nice, sending me postcards and giving me happy thoughts.

·         Flexibility. I don’t know what to say. I mean, I am not quite sure if I am doing good or bad. It’s as if I am not sure I like the song or not. Is the tune great or bad?  I’m not sure what to do. I am just glad that I can finally touch my toes! There is only one thing I can and that is work harder.

·         Motivation. Motivation is everything.  It is your strength and your accomplishments. In ways it is who you are and the choices you make.  I am so glad I am at least ok with my motivation to make this decision to keep going. I need to work on it some more like a fish has to work on swimming upstream.

15 days and still kickin

Day 15, I've had a pretty good workout so far. The highest I have gotten is 35 situps and 25 pushups, so I need to be able to do around 20 more of each!  Mom says that I need to work on my form and flexibility more, and I'm doing that by streaching.  Some days my muscles are really sore and I cant do my exercise very well because I push myself too hard....NOTE: pace yourself!

I have not been running or walking because it has been very muddy and mom says that's okay.  But now that the mud has dried up I have been riding my bike with Vega, who just learned.

My motivation level is OK but I need to work on it. I am feeling very proud of myself and feel as if i already have achieved something great. I am working really hard for a new electronic and am getting a stronger body too!

Earning my iPod

Ok, this is what’s up.  Mom offered me a really, really good deal where if I do enough exercise she will buy me an iPod! I have to do 40 push-ups, 50 sit-ups and run around XY Lake nonstop at the end of the summer.  I will also work on my flexability.

                We’re going on a road trip to Utah next winter and mom thought it would be better if I had an iPod and Vega had a DSI, but we have to earn it.

           
     I would like a pink or red iPod with red head phones (if possible) and all of my favorite music.  Some of my favorite singers are: Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Ke$ha and the Black eyed peas. I am just so excited about it!

                To reach my goal I will do more sit-ups and push-ups everyday until September 3^rd, and keep track of my progress in a notebook.  I will also keep up my blog and do more chores.  This will be fun!!
