As this New Year rolled around this week, the talk of making resolutions became a hot topic. I listened to others talk about how they want to lose weight, get more active, quit soda for the year, work on projects. I started to consider what I would do if I made a resolution for the year. It would be like Lent, but for a whole year.

I don't want to lose weight, but shift it. It should be more on my body as muscle rather than -well, whatever it is now, not so muscular. I don't drink stuff that's bad for me, unless you consider 2 cups of coffee bad, which it isn't :)
I don't smoke and hardly ever drink, so what's left is either get more active or work on projects. As I sit in my comfy lawn chair in front of my laptop, the wood stove less than ten feet from me, I hardly 'feel' like becoming more active, but that is what I am choosing to do. I am going to make it a point to do something active each day, more than getting a snack, putting wood in the stove or playing games on my kindle. I am going to try (gulp) exercising. I'm not terribly out of shape, but not in top shape, either. I know I'll feel better and more alert when I get moving, it's just that darn Newton.Newton's Laws state very clearly that a body in motion tends to stay in motion, and a body at rest tends to stay sitting in her lawn chair too long and keep blogging til she runs out of things to say.
or..more exactly..
- First law: The velocity of a body remains constant unless the body is acted upon by an external force.
- Second law: The acceleration a of a body is parallel and directly proportional to the net force F and inversely proportional to the mass m, i.e., F = ma.
- Third law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear.
and since you are still reading this blog, I invite you back in a week to see if I'm still moving. If I don't post within a week, don't bother calling 911, it'll be too late.lol.
I'll even post pics to make it more interesting for me, and maybe I'll get creative.
ok, I won't go too crazy. I don't want to end up in traction.
This has been a very long-winded post, but I'm ending on this note:
It is my resolve,(which can mean either to come to a definite or earnest decision about, or to split (a vector) into its components in specified directions . Either way, this shouild be interesting =)
Have a great week,
Blessings,
Lori
You go, girl!! I will follow you...vicariously! LOL!
ReplyDeleteI resolved Jan. 1, 2000, "No More Resolutions!"
So far, so good!! ;) Yay me!!
Cindy,That's why I call it a sort-of resolution. I didn't want to make a resolution, but I need a reason to start moving. This is the best way to pry me off my cushy indented seat and move. More of a good life choice,really. I also want to eat more healthily, but we'll take one thing at a time =)
ReplyDeleteThanks for being 'here' for me,
