Gym Time!

Last night I definitely wasn't in the mood to workout, but I pushed myself to go anyway. As I got on the treadmill I made sure my music was songs that I love so I could sing along instead of thinking about how much I'd rather be home with a glass of wine. Anyway, I had 15 minutes left when in comes this girl that jumps on the treadmill beside me. She flings her leg up on one side and begins to stretch... then on to the other side to stretch. She then gathers all her hair together and puts it up in a high ponytail...lastly she proceeds to get her ipod ready. I'm thinking cool... she's going to kick butt on this machine and motivate me to run my ass off  the last 15 minutes. I'm pumped! Got the good music playing, bumping my speed up, and she begins walking.  I figure she'll warm up 3-5 minutes so I keep looking over at her waiting for this race to begin. Well twelve minutes later I'm still running and looking over while she's still walking slowly, and I'm sure wondering why I keep looking at her. I about fell off the treadmill laughing in my head. Guess you had to be there... nonetheless, it made my night.

The body does not want you to do this. As you run, it tells you to stop but the mind must be strong. You always go too far for your body. You must handle the pain with strategy…It is not age; it is not diet. It is the will to succeed. – Jacqueline Gareau, 1980 Boston Marathon champ

How's Your Sleep

OMG Facts tweeted yesterday that you can survive days without eating but will live 11 days from not sleeping.  http://www.omg-facts.com/  I'm teetering on being sleep deprived at the moment. My 2 year old granddaughter has been staying the night and she won't sleep in her room.  She is a 2 year old that is the height of most 4 year olds, and she sleeps horizontally. It's not bad the nights that I get her head in my chest, but when its a night of the feet and getting kicked... forget about it. No sleep! I did some research and of course there has always been pros and cons about children sleeping in the same bed. Dr. Phil is opposed to it  - one of his reasons is it can cause regressive behavior.  http://drphil.com/articles/article/114  Personally I disagree - I loved having my kids by me and saw no side effects from it. They knew that they were always welcome in my bed, so naturally the same rule goes for the grandkids. It's just this is the first time h...

I left early this morning to get some shopping done, and I have to be honest - not ready to be sold on Christmas  I know it's the way retail works - I put many years into that industry, but I truly hate how overly commercialized Christmas is. They brainwash people and kids into thinking they have to have the newest and best of everything, and most people buy into the lie.  But what about the kids that their parents can't fall into the trap because financially they just can't do it. Are they made fun of or shunned by their peers because they don't have the newest clothes, gadgets, or toys?  Do they feel inferior or not worthy enough to receive - according to the advertisers you have to have it. It's not fair or right and I hate it!                                                               I think we all need to ...
