If it took Suzie 43 minutes to walk home from the gym last Tuesday after an hour of cardio and a whole bunch of strength training and it took her 40 minutes to walk home from the gym last Thursday after an hour of cardio; how long did it take her to walk home from the gym today?
33 minutes! Woot! And I danced on the sidewalk at red lights like a big eejit...and a total stranger said, "Good for you!" while I was crossing the Blue Bridge. Ladies and gents, if you see me en route...don't just stare, whistle too! Haha...
What is the moral of this story problem? I like subtraction...the rest of math can suck it.

I'm currently sitting on the couch, but I'm sewing (for pay! not just fun!) and your music is motivating even for this! Maybe it will motivate me right out the door tomorrow so I, too, can get me some of this cardio you speak of.
ReplyDeleteI am so motivational, sometimes I EVEN get myself off the couch..haha!
DeleteKeep sewing, Geni! Maybe I'll get you to make me a corset at the end of these 3 months! Though that may keep you on said couch.
Hmmm...
I train with Jonathon (your trainer) and he is a great motivator. I like your choice of workout music. I wanna be a NINJA when I grow up.
ReplyDeleteYay, another one of Jonathan's minions!
DeleteI will keep posting the music selections I make...haha..they are evolving. I'm also finding it terribly difficult not to burst into song on various cardio machines. Luckily, my kunoichi sensibilities have kept things under control.
