NO EXCUSES!

So I have the new ipod Touch and today I downloaded two apps (and a pedometer) to help me start exercising. I really need to start exericsing because I am determined to be be somewhat thinner (all things being relative, haha) for my graduation. Theses apps keep track of weight, BMI, body measurements, fitness regimen, calories, and offer recipes plus tons of other things I have yet to discover. The best thing about them though is I can take my ipod to the gym and use it to learn how to lift weights and do some exercises. This is good because I always feel like a dork at the gym – I can never remember any of the exercises. Plus I will also learn more about movement and muscles, all part of my larger plan and goals.
 
I guess I am writing this to make a promise to myself to exercise on a regular basis and not to let myself forget about my goal of being thinner for graduation. I have no excuses because I have all the tools I need to accomplish my goal: I have my fancy new ipod, a wii with multiple fitness games, access to free gym, as well as an old lifetime gym membership and a husband who is willing to help me whip my ass into shape, LOL.  NO EXCUSES!! I just need the energy and the will power….going to counseling and battling my depression is helping me with that. I feel like I am on right track – just need to stay there.

i Touch

So one day my stepson says, "I really want an i-touch." I was like ‘WTF is that? Something for pedophiles?’ Welll I didn’t ask exactly in those terms but that is what I was thinking. Well he was talking about the iPod Touch. Haha. I had not even heard of it before. I had heard of the iPhone, the iPad but not the iPod Touch. I investigated a little bit (and argued with myself – tried to talk me out of it) and decided I needed one, of course . My reasoning is that I needed one for the internet (it has wireless and with all the free wyfi around…) and it would help me stay in touch when I was out and about and I wouldn’t need to upgrade my phone (I am not a phone person at all), etc. Plus I had been wanting a new iPod because I have a lot of music I can’t put on my old one. I have a lot of pop music and ballads on my original one but I was thinking about getting a bigger iPod for jazz, blues, and classical music (all longer pieces of music usually) and the iPod Touch price was comparable to a regular iPod considering all the functions it offers.
 
I am really happy with my purchase. I’ve had one for few weeks now and I’ve been loading it up with my music and it is not even half full – I never realized just how far 32 MB of memory goes! I have been getting re-aquainted with some of my favorite jazz and blues music and it is making me super happy. Plus I have some audio books on it as well as iBooks and Kindle reader which is really cool. A lot of my favorite classic books were free or cost next to nothing. I have most of Jane Austin’s works, the complete Anne of Green Gables series, some Dickens and Tolstoy (to name a few) all on my iPod!  – Not to mention some psychology books. I am excited I can carry this many books with me and not break my back, hee hee. I really needed this when I was a youngster. I will never be bored again.
