A 365 photo journey through 2012
Today I vow to take back the 20 minutes a day that I need to keep my sanity and waistline in check.
Taking Back Twenty
Saturday, January 7, 2012
Day 7 - Burrito, Wine, Push-Ups. Repeat.
I honestly thought that today was going to be my first day without taking back twenty. Just as I had resigned to the fact that I would NOT be getting my 20 minutes in, I brought it to Facebook and my Facebook Friends came through with flying colors. While most were encouraging wine glass curls over actual exercise, Chris Coleman suggested that I bring my wine glass to the gym. After all, they DO have cup holders on the treadmills!! That was brilliant, and it got me thinking. I was already in the process of making a burrito for a late lunch/early dinner, so I didn't really want to have to leave to get my 20. After careful consideration, and gaining approval from my Facebook Post Posse, I decided that I would do to 10 kitchen counter push-ups (at a 45 degree incline) after each sip of wine. It actually turned into fairly effective system. Bite of burrito, sip of wine, 10 push-ups. Repeat 10 times. Check out my daily photo. Notice the wine glass, mostly eaten burrito, and 8 tally marks on a Verizon bill? Each tally mark represents 10 push-ups. I managed to finish the session with 100 push-ups altogether. It started burning after 80, then thought...what's 20 more? Git-her-Done. Short post. It's Saturday night - go live life, people.
