Workin' it

September is almost here. Fucking summer, where did you go? Where were you to begin with? I shouldn't complain so loudly. I'm not a fan of scorching hot weather and have actually been enjoying the cool summer. The constant rain I could do without.

Being stuck inside, I have found some sort of sick joy in the Wii console I recently purchases. Those whole know me well know I only got it for one reason - so I could play the Beatles Rock Band when it comes out early September. Silly, I know but I'm obsessive.

Punk Boy, being the big gamer he is, has totally embraced our Wii and quickly expanded our collection of games. He's picked some really good ones that I enjoy and I've been able to get some fun ones I've had my eye on. He actually talked me into getting the AE Active for the Wii. It's this sort of personal trainer that was designed by Oprah's personal trainer (insert oh and ah here) and I've heard good things about it. Thought I'd give it a try. It was recommended by me to try the 30 day fitness challenge first as it teaches you how to do the exercises and walks you through some great routines. Sure, why not, right? I'll give it a go. A friend told me that the workout was intense and she was unable to walk for a day afterwards. I called bullshit and jumped right into the damn thing.

She wasn't bullshitting.

The work out is about 25 minutes a day, but fuck me, its intense. After my first day of the 30 day challenge, my thighs were so sore that sitting on the goddamn toilet was a challenge.

I'm now on day five and feeling much better. I've Incorporated some stretching after the workouts are done and feel more limber. I almost hate to say it, but I'm enjoying the damn thing. I can give up 25 minutes a day. Its quick, really. I need to do more for myself and I am determined to not only finish the 30 day challenge, but to make this a habit.

Yeah, yeah sure. We all know how I am with new habits. Didn't I state months ago I was going to make a new habit of writing a little bit each day. Well, we all know where that went. Right down the crapper. I find it hard sometimes and with the baby and Punk Boy still at home with a broken hand, well, when I get some 'me' time, I sometimes just want to lay down. This too, will improve.

Things are moving rather well. I am really missing my friend ferocious Sonja, but I'm not worried. Life is crazy. She's a busy girl and so am I - we will connect soon. What I adore about her is that even with these periods where our contact is limited, we both understand why and we both don't take it personally. I will talk with her soon... She is having a sex toy party at her new apartment, so I know I'll see here then.

My sister has been in Ottawa almost one whole month now. I called her last night for a quick talk. I should have planned it out better as it sounded like she really wanted to talk more. Lots to catch up on. I miss her. Could always count on her for some company or some help and that's been taken away. I'm sure she feels the same way. I'm excited to see her this coming September long weekend.

I need a shower. The workout today, which wasn't as intense as the other days (mostly upper body, not a lot of cardio) still made me sweat. I need to get clean before the Sea Monkey's doctors appointment this afternoon. He's nine months old today...
