It's slightly over a year now of commanding my legs to walk up to my bedroom, stuffing them into Ace Bandage like shorts, and marching out the door with intent, Nike+ sensor in place. I am proud of me. It takes alot to stand up to yourself-to keep "under your body and bring it into subjection." (I still love King James. It's like reading poetry) In this war of the wills, there are two culprits: chocolate and boredom.
Chocolate: need I explain? If it is within 50 feet, I will not rest until it is completely eradicated, via my mouth. If it is especially delicious, I will hang my head in silence, drawing out every last molecule. I proclaim myself a Vegetarian, but in truth, I am a Choclotarian. I want all chocolate-all the time.
Boredom: I need constant fresh inventory of music, talk radio or audio books. Itunes is great for this. audible.com, and theaudiobookstore.com are both slightly cheaper for books.
Do you have a favorite imix for walking or running? A good audiobook recommendation? Tell us about it. I will compile a user list and post it on itunes. (Books don't post as an imix, but we will see them here)
Enough procrastinating now-you get out there and strut your stuff.

Haven't tried audio books yet, great idea, though. Any suggestions for something that is motivating to keep moving??
ReplyDeleteAnd I wondered, M, what happened to that jar of decadent dark chocolate fudge.... I hope every drop was savored!! :-)
ReplyDeleteGo to the imix page, and you will see all my favorite tunes. As far as some great books I've listened to on my ipod, here is my list: The Appeal, The Associate, The Summons-John Grisham
ReplyDeleteThe Quickie, Run For Your Life, Step on a Crack, The Third Degree, The 6th Target, London Bridges, Honey Moon, Beach Raod-James Patterson
The Overlook, The Lincoln Lawyer,Echo Park-Michael Connelly
I listened to a lot of audiobooks last year while training for the Breast Cancer 3Day (great walkathon if you have one near you--or if you don't). "We Need to Talk About Kevin" is one of the only books I've ever found where I think the audiobook may be better than the print version. It's NOT an easy listen--lots of pain and venom--but it's pretty powerful nonetheless.
