Life is a Journey not a Destination

These books that is. For some unknown reason I have had no desire to go the gym and, in fact, haven’t been in nearly 2 weeks. I had planned to go today but didn’t want to, then kind of ran out of time, so missed again. Not quite sure what’s going on with me. I was really loving my new program.

I think I need to rework my housework routine and clean two days and do gym two days. I find if I clean first, like today, I don’t feel like going to the gym, and if I workout first I’m pretty exhausted for the next hour and don’t want to clean. I tend to only clean in the morning so if it’s not done by lunchtime it doesn’t get done.

Plan to start reading these books tomorrow and hope they give me back some desire to get to the gym. I know I’ll love it once I’m there - I always do - just can’t seem to get myself there. Today I was feeling guilty about not doing any exercise until I realized I walked the kids to and from school - which means I got an hours walk in :-). We’ve been walking home EVERY day so I’m getting a minimum of a half hour walk plus cleaning and stuff around the house. But I need to keep up the upper body workouts before I start to lose STRENGTH.

Well, it’s always exciting when I get the monthly mail from our USA post box with all my magazine subscriptions but it was extra special this month as it contained this..

I haven’t bought any books for a while but I have gathered this little collection over the last few weeks. There was a time when I couldn’t walk past a bookshop or newsagents without going in. These days I mostly buy romance books from my friend Lucy’s store Ever After, but every so-often I will buy books like the above - but I’m much more selective these days. The first book Changing Habits Changing Lives is all about eating wholesome nutritious foods and fits right in with my food philosophy. The next few are early planning for our UK trip next year and I couldn’t pass up Sustainable Living for Dummies as it has all Australian references.

As for magazines - I subscribe to nearly all my favourites so I might just go have a browse every few months - which I did today when I picked up Scrapbooks Etc (which I have been unable to subscribe to over the net) and the Healthy Food Guide. My mags are all packed ready for our Easter trip.
