Moving forward . . .

This week has been hmmm . . . how to say it . . . interesting?? I've been edgy all week. It first started on Monday morning - or Sunday night, I forget which - when the iPod dock would not allow me to play my iPhone music. At all. Extremely irritating, but little did I know it would be the first of many signs of techno-rebellion. The next sign was when I hopped on the treadmill and tapped on the c25k app and the iPhone would NOT play the music. It would run the app, but NO MUSIC! The next sign was when I called J. and began to leave a voicemail on his phone. As I was talking the recording time would end and in the middle of attempting to leave my message I was interrupted with the "press 1 if you are satisfied, 2 if you want to hear, 3 if you want to re-record" message. UGH!!

I suppose looking back it's kind of comical because I attempted three times to leave a damn message before I finally got wise and the fourth time said "This is me. Call me back." as fast as I possibly could. I felt like I had suddenly developed some type of unknown human condition that caused me to emit weird radiowaves thus preventing all technical devices to work - like when the helicopter in the Avatar movie goes through the sky mountains and the pilot flies without her instruments.

Anyway, I managed to still get my time on the treadmill by bringing in my laptop and playing the iTunes from there. Gotta have my music to make the time go by faster. Luckily the computer has not crashed during my workouts although it has shut off by itself three times while trying to do my blog so it appears the technogods still have a grudge against me. :(

The good news is that I stretched my time and worked out for 41.35 minutes tonight. That's a whole four days IN A ROW of moving my body and I'm feelin' pretty darn good about that since my goal is to work out 30 minutes a day, three times a week. I think part of me is afraid that if I skip a day it will be too easy to miss the next, and the next, and the next . . . so the real test will come when I actually do take my first day off. Another good thing I realized tonight, working out forces me to drink more water. Had 32 ounces during my workout. So I'm giving myself two stars today and not subtracting a single point for the potato chips I ate with my tuna sandwich!
