See that water tower...that is where I have been walking to every morning. Well, that is where I HAD been walking to until about 3 weeks ago when the holidays hit me between the eyes. So today, it was calling to me again...so I got into my warmest clothes (it's about 40 degrees out there), grabbed my IPOD, and took Kit on our hike up the hill. I usually go up to the tower, run back down, and then keep going about 3 more miles through Logandale neighborhoods. It was freezing out there today, my fingers were numb under my sweatshirt, and I was praying that I would not end up with ear aches and a cold. But, I know that I feel better, look better (this hike lifts my buns more than even my weight workouts), and just need to do it for myself. So, every morning this water tower just needs to wake up and yell over this way, "Vicki, get your butt up here!"
No...this is NOT me. But she is my inspiration. Tosca Reno, 49 years old, and fit as a fiddle. I figure if I can look HALF as good as she does, then I am one happy camper! So I am getting back into my weight lifting, mainly so that my motabulism kicks into gear again. Those two weeks of vacation killed me...in a lot of ways. I have eaten so much junk, stopped working out, and boy, do I feel it. Ever since the kids went back to school on Monday, I have sent them off, and gone back to bed. How pathetic! So, come Spring, I better be looking better. If I don't look better, I better at least feel better. Ready or not, here I come...

way to go mom! We kids weren't very good examples bringing junk and eating it during Christmas! I want to work out with you this next week but I don't know what I'll do with the kids...I hope if we move there, we are close enough to walk or work out together. A partner can be so motivating. I can help you with work outs and cardio, while you help me with my weakness...the food part. We can hold each other responsible, it all works great with a partner. Anyway, see you soon.
good for you mother! :)
Oh I need that same motivation! I need to start getting into a routine now so it won't start catching up to be. Besides, I am so out of shape.
Yeah, I read about that lady in Oxygen. I've been doing pretty good so far- can't wait to have some muscle definition!
Ok Vicki you definitely are my hero! talk about motivation. I'm a teen and can't find enough energy to go run. But I'm trying now I'm back to school and the books theres no time for exercise. lol maybe i could instead of blogging. well good luck with exercising I'm trying and had a darn good workout today! love ya mom
I envy your location right about now. It has been snowing for the past two days here and I can't get myself to go anywhere. I need to get a treadmill. Enjoy your snow free hike. It looks great!
