Day 115 [Body & Mind]

Exercise!

Much needed for both my body and mind.

I have a commitment to myself to lose 40 pounds by 40 years old.

Well, I'm quickly running out of time!

As of May 5th I will have exactly 6 months to achieve said goal.

Honestly, at this point I will be happy to lose 20.

I have started my walking again, now that the weather is improving outside and I have heard nothing but good things about Jillian Michael's Shred workout, so I'm going to give it a try.

I picked it up along with some weights.

I know, 3 pounds is 'wimpy', but I have very weak arms and figure I'll start off small and increase to the 5 and 8 pound weights I own from my previous years of actually being fit!

I picked up a new book today as well.

I was torn between this one and Twenties Girl by Sophie Kinsella.

I have read all of Sophie's books except for this one.

I love them!

Fantastically great reads.  FUNNY!  I have literally laughed out loud through several of her books.  They are the kind of books that I devour in a few short days.  The kind that everything goes to hell in a handbasket because I can't put the book down!

Since I was torn between the two and not willing to purchase both today, I had my husband decide for me.  He thinks I should try something new and the other one later.  He also suggested that I make the new book 'last' for a while.  He really likes it when I join him in bed at night for reading, but gets frustrated as I plow through books so quickly. 

So, here's to exercise for the body and mind!
