I think I woke up pretty “fired up” to burn some calories
while getting things accomplished. Laundry (a general “no-no” for Sunday) was
getting sort of finalized by the time I was getting myself in place to “burn”.
I really felt I could ride the bike for a 5K, take care of some laundry, get on
the elliptical, for 1000 revolutions, wrap up laundry business & finish out
the “at home” with a half hour of rowing. This would have all been completed in
successive half hour allotments, of 10:30 a.m., 11 a.m., & 11:30 a.m. Then,
I would have headed out to meet up with Dad for a four-mile walk in a park
local to him. This isn’t exactly what He had in store for me, however. Nope.
Rather, soon after finishing the 5K on the bike, my DH & I began a discussion
which completely cut into my concept of “breaking” & somewhat stretching
while working for a few minutes in the laundry room. Rather, I hardly did
anything in there & instead fought to prevent wrinkling while accepting
that anything on the Elliptical & rowing machine just wouldn’t be happening
until at least the evening time. I was also running 15 minutes late to meet up
with Dad. Fortunately, we could work around much of this delay & we’d still
have our walk in the park. Strange thing is it was pouring (very heavily, I
might add) at home & most of enroute to him. We don’t live nearby them. In
fact, I took a rain jacket, rather than sunscreen to cover with in case there
was a little too much rain. I really didn’t anticipate our not walking. Dad wouldn’t mind & he knows that I’m not one of
“those” girls. I’d probably joke that my hair hadn’t dried yet from my shower!
I did have an “assignment” of sorts that I just couldn’t put
off any more days on my computer. Therefore, until that was completed, there
would be no evening rowing, etc.
All in all, I did accomplish & that’s what’s important.
June 16 accountability – Bike 5K at 10:30 a.m., 4-mile walk
