53 Days Till I Do

Jan. 22th

50 days!

The days are getting closer. I feel like the time is just melting away like a stick of butter in the microwave. Cassie and I are still in Pensacola its FRIDAY!! The only thing is 3 hour drive back! :( Well its not so bad. The weather cleared and a little chilly. Cassie had to go to some appointments behind hotel checkout at Noon.

I was left to myself once again. The gym was calling my name! I wanted to do something light today. I had a 3 hour drive and the last thing I needed was to have no energy to keep my eyes open. I made it a Cardio Day! Its crazy how much information we keep from different sources, people we meet, past experiences etc. Well I feel like America has given Cardio a bad rep. Follow me a second, how long do you really want to jog in place for? I see people on the treadmill, bicycle, or the elpilical for hours! Get this the American Olympic Team trains on Cardio Machines like we do in the gym. One thing though, they train for 8 mins at a time. They cycle through an 8 min treadmill, 8 min bicycle, and 8 min elipical. They agree that those machines work they just use them differently. Granted they train at full speed all the time and the results certainly follow. I use that knowledge in my work out and do 8 mins per machine. I feel much better, get a better work out and do it in less time. Go figure that America's definition of Cardio is skewed. You don't believe me,

I am trying to develop a new habit that will decrease my stress, promote creative thinking and look great for my future WIFE!!

"Whenever your present situation, I assure you that you are not your habits. You can replace old patterns of self-defeating behavior with new patterns, new habits of the effectiveness, happiness, and trust-based relationships."
