Every Good Thing

"I...tend to be...busier than I should be
I...tend to think...that time is going to wait for me
Sometimes I forget...and take for granted
That it's a beautiful life we live
I don't want to miss...the moments like this
This is a beautiful life You give"

Off to a Good A.M. Start, Busy P.M.

I’m guessing that my 9:45 p.m. from Monday night had a little something to do with letting go of the hope to getting on the sweating at 5 a.m. This did set me back… & then some. I knew I’d have to be showering by 10:15/10:30 in order to leave in a timely manner for a midday appointment. I knew I’d be gone from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., but suddenly, along with the assistance of my DH, I wouldn’t be coming directly back on home.
On Sunday afternoon I had planned to take care of an errand. The store closed before I’d be able to get there. My DH figured out how to Segway this trip onto my Tuesday afternoon. Sort of.

I had really hoped to be home by 3 p.m., but as I continued to find myself in construction mayhem, & well, buildings that simply didn’t exist, instead of turning around & letting this errand wait some more, my DH was researching online on the other end of the cell phone line, not letting me give up hope for this errand. Sadly, I did have to give up hope for a near 3 p.m. arrival back home. After spending nearly four hours on the road, this woman with road rage was rather worn out. I knew there would be no way for me to take on any more rounds for the day & instead considered a round on the rowing machine. Since I technically had four sections early with Bike, Elliptical, Bike, Elliptical, Rowing would round out for a fifth, but it never did happen. As my Tuesday evening got kind of held up otherwise (deep in other such projects) I considered that since I really wanted to be able to expand beyond just the bike, & I suppose the elliptical (& even maybe the rowing machine), I wasn’t going to be able to function for the day and get in five increments of all this fun! Simply didn’t exist in our element of time! What I need to do is re-route & come up with five things that will increment to equal five giving me the completeness & the range for which I’m looking.


June 18 accountability – Bike 5K at 7:00 a.m., Elliptical 1000 RPMs at 7:45 a.m., Bike 5K at 9:00 a.m., & Elliptical 1000 RPMs at 9:30 a.m.
