I love that thought....<br />going with my sweetie for wine tasting and yummy appetizers, for FREE, at Flemings, and then hitting Trader Joe&#39;s (just across the parking lot) for a cheesecake for NOW! Yeah!!!!!!!!<br />The physical activity here was getting there, then WALKING across the parking lot, and getting back home, without stopping at the local wine bar!Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12092314136507479957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3687986950535882974.post-68174249539334164742009-09-11T11:54:36.328-06:002009-09-11T11:54:36.328-06:00I also meant to say that I love your post Emily.

Whatever the hell that means.<br /><br />And hello, Justin, Adrienne told me you were joining! I like you comment a lot. I think that doing things you are passionate about, even if it isn&#39;t every moment, and just doing something (or as Dominique said walk the walk! That should be one of your Post-its!!) that sets fire to your pants and gets you moving now and then is good. We should embrace that. Like exercise it will become more of a habit. In a rut? Change direction! Do something to shake things up.<br /><br />This has to be my most epically random meandering posts yet, I&#39;m totally stream of conscious writing now. Hopefully there&#39;s some wisdom lurking, rather than just babble that leaves you all dizzy and shaking your heads.<br /><br />I&#39;m loving this series though, it&#39;s very thought provoking.Shanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18330775044500244658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3687986950535882974.post-47567014073861286352009-09-08T19:43:59.246-06:002009-09-08T19:43:59.246-06:00You are right Justin! I&#39;m just spinning my wheels over here, doing nothing. I should do something different, something I haven&#39;t done in awhile- maybe go for a small hike or just take a walk. I love that. My guitar is calling me (again). <br />Week 4 has been my toughest so far! Normally I&#39;m so active I don&#39;t know what my rut is all about. I keep telling myself that come Monday once both kids are in school I&#39;ll get on track! <br />Thanks everyone for the encouragement and ideas, I need it!Adriennehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00043946517064122461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3687986950535882974.post-3234447507215661102009-09-07T21:57:58.291-06:002009-09-07T21:57:58.291-06:00I agree with everybody. This is a great post by Emily. She stated it perfectly.<br /><br />Adrienne, I sometimes find that if I can motivate myself to do at least one thing that I enjoy that I haven&#39;t done in a while, whether it be finding a new subject to photograph, or taking time out in nature, or pulling out and dusting off my guitar...., it can lead to motivation for other things as well.Justinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17316911837275041839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3687986950535882974.post-6229510485192747982009-09-07T20:01:32.728-06:002009-09-07T20:01:32.728-06:00How can you be on a rut already? Your NYC weekend glow should last a week! Loved the pictures you guys took.<br />I say eat the Brownies. Just eat them really slowly so that they don&#39;t taste very good by the end of the week.Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12092314136507479957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3687986950535882974.post-85186664328274584522009-09-07T16:28:09.637-06:002009-09-07T16:28:09.637-06:00You are all awesome and I love you!<br />Anyone have any ideas how I can get out of my rut? I have a block of brownies on my counter too. (They will not hit the trash...)Adriennehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00043946517064122461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3687986950535882974.post-66668878681663040812009-09-07T12:38:32.628-06:002009-09-07T12:38:32.628-06:00I love, love, love this, Emily. I understand, and I think I am in, the same position as you. I guess I am not in training for anything, but life. <br />If I want to have my real and fake knees last the rest of my life, I need to get the weight off. If I want to live a long, and healthy life, I need to get the weight off. I need regular exercise, at least that 1/72 of my day&#39;s worth. I need to put away the brownies (like straight into the trash) that my skinny friend gave me....<br />OK where&#39;s my bottle of water?<br />But weight, I mean wait, I have an Indians game to go to tonight.... peanuts, hot dogs and Stadium mustard... drat. That&#39;s real life. Gonna have to change something so as to not give up that good stuff.<br />And, Dominique, good for you!Robinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12092314136507479957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3687986950535882974.post-90086964476103171122009-09-07T03:16:58.661-06:002009-09-07T03:16:58.661-06:00Emily, <br />This is perfect. After our GGG, I decided I wanted to talk all fancy about hiking 14 pointers. I realized it&#39;s more about walking the walk than talking the talk. Today I will walk the walk....on the treadmill. <br />Thank you.Dominiquehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15474721462782131082noreply@blogger.com
