Okay that's it. I'm doing it TODAY.
Getting to 20,000 posts, that is. After this post, I only have 30 more. I can make that many today, right? Can't I?

25. I don't have much to do today, outside of lifting weights
and a little laundry. My kids are occupied at the moment and my husband is steelhead fishing.

So I'm goofing off. I worked at the gym daycare this morning.

29. Well...you could always set a timer...
Read for 30 minutes, then take a break for 15 minutes. Sometimes it's easier to get things done when you know you've got a little breather coming up.

Me? My motivation to lift weights will be about the time of day I start to think a beer would taste good. I won't allow myself to have one until my workout is done. :)

47. Ooo I should try and use something like that
Edited on Sat Nov-04-06 04:34 PM by MadAsHellNewYorker
i never use the idea of motivation. Im usually all about instant gratification :rofl: Your way seems to be a much smarter way to get yourself to accomplish a few things.

thanks for the good ideas :yourock:

I know how to flirt, silly.

But I'm a middle-aged housewife. It's just SO not appropriate!

26. You know what's funny?
We have a tavern here in town called the Busted Shovel, and I swear I always want to call it the Broken Spoke!

She left when she graduated and got a job in another state. :)

'Twas a long time ago.

31. Ah well...the only bad thing about the Spoke is the concrete floors.
This is truly the best place to see country music (and lots of other music) in Texas.

When the dance floor is empty, it can be a little harsh.

35. Not much...
I worked at the gym daycare this morning and brought my kids with me. It was unusually busy for a Saturday, so I was kept hopping. We stopped at the gas station and the grocery store afterward, and I didn't get around to having lunch until 2:00. I've got a couple loads of laundry going, the kids are engrossed in an art project, and I have to get a workout in.

42. I'm impressed at how consistent you are with your workouts.
:applause: I try to do the same thing, because as I tell the kids, "If Mom is happy, EVERYBODY is happy." Working out regularly keeps me sane. I'm sure you can relate, right? :hug:

Good luck and early congrats on the 20,000 posts! :toast:

45. Yes, I can! Working out is just part of my day...
I'd miss it if I can't get it in.

Some days are harder than others to get motivated, but I always feel better afterward.

A math test? Ack!

I'm not sure I can figure out that 4 is the answer to that question!

Today, my daughter wrote a math quiz for me. The question was:

1,000,000,000 + 12 = ________
