Tuesday, Jun 3 2008 - Day 2 of wagon riding!

View HAPPYJO's food & exercise for this day


Ahhh well I did haul my butt to the gym yesterday because apparently Calgary has decided to be the world’s rainiest city as of late. Seeing as I was a little sore from baseball yesterday I decided against jogging. And busted it out on the elliptical, it felt good because I haven’t been elliptical-ing lately and I have kinda missed it … the smooth motion for sure doesn’t hurt my knee … and it’s easier on my back.
But with that said I missed the jogging … I saw people doing it and I wished I was one of them.
I promised myself Thursday I would be one of the people on the treddies … again because I can’t go outside because it’s supposedly going to monsoon.

I am a prairie girl through and through, its not that I need it to be warm because lord knows it’s never that warm here BUT I DO need it to be sunny … without the sun I get sad and grumpy and it is hard on my fam and the like because I take it out on them. I am trying to change and not let the weather affect me as much as it does. I think the exercise endorphins might also help out. So I will just try to exercise more on the rainy days. But then I can’t go outside!! Argh vicious circle!!!
Sorry … that was me working it out in my head.

Tonight is deep water workout which although it has been getting busier I am still enjoying it a LOT. I love being in the water so if I can listen to fun music and float around while getting my heart rate up … why not?

Thank all you guys for all your sweet comments as well yesterday you guys are making coming back on here even more worth while!

:hi: Morning Sunshine! Have you thought about going to a tanning salon? I know it isn't the healthiest, but it is sure cheaper than those sun lamps. I go for 5 or 6 minutes when the weather has been dreary for days, really perks me up. I even suggested to the owner that in the winter she turns one of the rooms into the "sun" room and get one of the real sun lamps for people to come sit under. I'd pay for it!

I think Champaign, IL might be in the running for rainest city. Seriously - I swear it does nothing but rain, ever! Its like we are being punished for our nice weekend now by getting 5 inches of rain in one day! And rain in the forcast until SUNDAY!! Anyway, I feel your pain!

Isn't it funny how the weather can so drastically affect our moods? The weather here is all dark and rainy and I've felt craptastic all day! Good job at going on the elliptical!
