I had gone to the library and found some books on cd that I've really wanted to read, but just haven't had the free time. I loaded them onto my ipod and right now I'm enthralled with In the Company of the Courtesan by Sarah Dunant. Usually, I am not a huge fan of historical fiction, mostly because the authors butcher the history but I'm really enjoying this book. I made a little mental bargain with myself that I wouldn't listen to it unless I was working out or walking.
Today, I went to the gym and used the elliptical for 30 minutes and then jumped on the treadmill for another 17 minutes just so that I could finish listening to a very intense part of the book. It was a win...win...win for me.
Tonight my DH asked if I had done my WATP video and I hadn't because of my earlier workout. But, I decided that I could at least do the 15 minute mile with him and keep my commitment to press play on that video every day for 30 days and walk at least a mile with Lesilie. DH and I walked the mile then did the five minute stretching exercises. Now, I'm tired and sweaty, but feeling a little proud of what I've been able to do in just 4 days.
