I remember WHY.....

We have a Wellness Club at work.  Quarterly, we select a goal to meet.  If we meet said goal, we are rewarded.  It's delightful.  Not only do we feel fab from working out, but we also get a special treat.

Yours truly opted for 45 hours of cardio last quarter and fell 3 hours short.  Sooo this quarter, feeling the need to redeem myself, I chose 45 hours of cardio again. 

The quarter cut-off is this Saturday. 

I realized that as of last Sunday, I had 42 hours and 7 days to complete the dreadful 180 minutes still remaining. 

Sunday afternoon before evening church:  60 minutes cardio
Monday night:  45 minutes
Tuesday: 60 minutes

Sixty minutes was the old "ridiculous gym girl."  The new and more relaxed me gives 30 - 45 minutes to cardio four nights per week.  And let me tell you...that's totally enough.

For the next quarter, I put a big fat "X" next to 30 hours of cardio.  This next quarter contains Thanksgiving and I know myself.  I heart fall and should my friends want to have an impromptu meet-up at the apple orchard (HINT!!! HINT!!!), I wouldn't want to have to say "no" for the love of cardio.
