New Year ... New Me ... The sequel

So I had big dreams last year. Aspirations of getting fit both body and soul. 
I thought I had it in check by being realistic and not joining a gym.
Honestly, the plan I had last year- would have been great- 
if it was closer to home
if it wasn't over booked because of the Groupon deal
if they really cared.

hmm... So this year, I find myself in the same place.
I have a little more "me" time during the day since Sami's homeschooling is much more independent.

But do I join a gym? ugh. It's the worst time to do that- and same problems.
Will I go?
Will I put in the right about of effort when I do go?

What to do... Off to Craigslist to check out other people soiled dreams.
Scored a nice Nordic Track Elliptical for only $150.

So I send my husband to pick up. Now I have this monster machine- shall I try it?

My thoughts. "Borrow" my mentally challenged daughters iPad and watch my soap opera while I glide my way to fit.
Good plan.  That's 40 minutes a day. I can do that.

Day 1.
Enter area where exercise monster is.
Look it over.
Check to make sure it's secure.
Fill Water Bottle
Make sure iPad is secure
Text my husband to let him know I'm getting on.
Drink water

Phase II
Get on... ok this isn't so bad, hey, I'm kinda tall
Start show
Begin exercise... ok not so bad I got this.

~~~3 minutes later ~~~

Holy crap...I'm suppose to do this for 40 minutes!
Water...I need water....
Maybe a little break.
Rest for about 30 seconds, ok I'm ready to start again.
Repeat

~~~15 minutes ~~~

ok. That's enough for Day one. 
Guess my week one goal will be to get through my 15 minutes without "resting".

Who loves these?

Show of hands.  Who doesn't love a warm, gooey, piece of glazey heaven?
This girl. That's who.

These bring me back to high school. "Hanging Out" at the Krispy Kreme (not something we did regularly) It was one of the ones where you can watch the doughnuts being made.
So there we were, watching the doughnuts, because what else is there to do on a Friday Night in Jacksonville, Florida? This is as fun as it get folks!
Anyhoo- Skip to the end, the glaze shower.
Here comes the doughnuts. Like intertubes ....slowly approaching the water...er... glaze fall ahead.
They pass through the yummy wet goodness.
Then they drop, and make another pass.
ok
Then they drop...again...and make another pass.
now it's getting a bit much.
Then they drop...again...are you serious? I can see the calorie count ringing with each pass.  How much glaze does one person need?
Now, 20, er ... 10 years later- I still feel my hips grow every time I see this box!
