Working In

By NCN, on February 16th, 2010%

It’s still very cold here.  Instead of going outside for a walk or driving to the gym, I decided just to do my workout here at the house.  I managed to do several push ups, squats, and lunges.  I also did some deep knee bends and some stand-in-place-walking.  I worked up a good sweat and now I feel great.

Now that we are settling into the new house, it’s super-important that I get into a solid routine.  I THINK I’ve figured out when I can go to the gym – and when I’ll just have to work out here at home.  Either way, I’m making it a priority to work out, regularly.

On a completely different note – I need a really good pair of ear-buds for working out.  I’m not a big fan of the ones that came with my iPod, but I want some of similar size and design.  Any thoughts?

On The Road Again

By NCN, on February 16th, 2010%

Literally.  As I mentioned over at No Credit Needed – my wife and I have purchased a new home!  It is situated in a neat little neighborhood – and tree-lined streets where we can take our daily walks.

Last night, even though it was cold, my son and I bundled up and went for our first walk through the new neighborhood.  The streets are paved, and allow for a continuous mile-long loop, without ever having to walk on a “main” road.  It’s pretty awesome.

Now that we are settled, I’m back in my workout routine.  I’ll head to the gym this evening, after work.  The new house and the new neighborhood give me a chance for a “clean break” from old patterns and routines.  I’m thankful for this, and excited about a new, healthier lifestyle.

We’ve already made a major change, one that can only have positive results.  In our old house, while watching television at night, we would snack in the den.  No more!  Now, all eating must take place at the kitchen table.  Period.  This includes snacks.  It’s amazing how this one change has already affected my habits.  Now, instead of hunkering-down in my chair and eating handfuls of cookies, I sit at the table, have a bite or two of snack, and then go about my day.  Pretty awesome.

Have a great day, and I’ll check in later with workout report.  Rock on.
