TV Argh and other stuff
Friday morning, I ended up purchasing a used dvd set of Margaret Richards workout videos for $35 (about $100 less than new). It's the basic "beginner" set with six 20+ min workouts, with a warm up/cool down for each. I chose this set because I'll start with enough variety to keep my interest, this program set works the whole body, I can do warm up/cool down sets when I'm too ill to do the weight training, and I can get the-stiffest-roommate-in-the-world* to start at this level. I've already got her into the gym once a day, even if she's only stretching and doing physical therapy.
*With a little effort, she can reach all the way to her knees. I've lost more flexibility than she's SEEN in her whole life! LOL
As far as my ongoing efforts on the 101/1001 list, I've stepped back a little on my worrying about it. I'm am blessed with many friends, but irl and online, who remind me often that there will be solid ground under my feet no matter how many goals I accomplish and that I've got all the time in the world for my happiness. With that in mind, I won't be updating or documenting my progress as often - I'm switching that part to only mid-month updates. I'm too busy at the beginning of the month and I've begun to spend more time updating than progressing. I started this over a week ago, and have already noticed I've more opportunities for activity.
Goal related miscellania:
Now that I don't smoke, I've about $80-$100 more of my monthly income available - I'm now regaining my health with money I used previously to destroy my health.
I made a "buttoning" travel sewing kit so I have something to do with my hands on the long trips between my house and Mr. Wonderful's (30 miles one way) - yesterday, I repaired/remade one item (8 buttons).
I've had a problem with not speaking up to be treated as I deserve, and then resenting when another gets my fair portion - I've begun speaking up for what I want, need, and desire.
I'm still having trouble with laptop shocking my hands. Roommate has to take in THIRD cell phone in two years - she's ruined her newest. She's SO not allowed near my iPod.
2:00 pm edit: Heh, I order the video Friday, I received it today. If I can get roommie to install the dvd player in the gym today, I'll be back on track tomorrow morning!
