on demand tv

Who would have guessed that a larger cable package would be good for my weight loss goals. Well i certainly didn't. While running many errends yesterday i picked up a digital starter package from the cable folks. As i listened to the wonderful lady at the counter tell me all the wonderful new channels i would be getting and how wonderful all the on demand movies are, i think i actually felt my butt get bigger in antispiation of much couch time.
So here i am at home palying with all my new cable features and i stumble apoun the heading "sports & fitness" in the on demand menu. So i clicked on it and checked it out. Wouldn't you know it they have several different shows from fitness TV on demand and they are all free. I found this very exciting, because we are not paying for all those fancy channels like fitness TV. In fact we only picked up this digital starter package because the cable folks said we could have it for the same price as the basic cable we already had. (they are getting rid of basic cable, digital starter is now basic cable) Then since i was there in person and i had these two darling girls with me the lady pulled a few more specials out of her bag of tricks. I left the cable office with a nifty new tote bag filled with digital starter package, two digital converter boxes, 8 coupons for free on demand movies, and a cable bill including Internet that for the next six months will be 1/2 what it usually is. I would say that was a good trip to the cable store.
OK back to my point, i am typing this as i guzzle water. I have done three very fun aerobic work outs, three very different styles, and as soon as catch my breath and wipe my brow i am going to look for another one to do. This is exactly what my workouts needed. I needed some aerobic activities to get me off this darn plateau that I'm on. well i'm off to watch some more tv. Have a great day all.

what i should be doing

I should be exercising today. i should be on my way to the gym. I am not. I instead have been playing with my Flickr account, checking out stuff on face book, checking my e-mail, and a little bit of mog-jon tiles to pass the time while baby sitting dolls and watching Oliver and company between making breakfast, brushing teeth & hair, having a panic attack that my 4 year old has a cavity, making a few calls to get a dentist appointment since we don't have dental insurance, making lunch, filling cups with drinks, mediating between two three year old's and a four year old, oh yes and reheating my first cup of coffee for the day four times. Ah, i guess the morning has been a little slow.
Off to wash some laundry and do some dishes and set up a game of "Winnie the pooh- go together game".
love all
