I’d been putting off loading the dishwasher all day because it meant that I had to unload it before hand.  Don’t know why, but I hate to unload the dishwasher.  Takes 5 minutes and I avoid it like the plague.  When I finally got around to doing it, I opened the dishwasher and my husband had emptied it this morning while I was showering.  I’d been avoiding it all day for nothing.  That, along with my son actually taking a nap today, made it a pretty good day.

Made it to the Y first thing this morning and got in both strength and cardio workouts while the kids played.  My son didn’t even start screaming when I went to pick them up.  He typically cries like he hasn’t seen me in a year and I’ve broken his little heart.  Today he waved bye and kept saying, “Bye bye!”

Today I got to thinking about this past spring when the No Cardio diets/exercise programs were being touted in several publications.  There is one woman at my gym that is there a lot.  She does 2-3 sets of some pretty decent weight.  I have never seen her do cardio and have overheard some of the coaching personel ask her if she’s given any though to doing some to which she’s always answered that now isn’t the time for that.  Well, as near as I can tell, she is living proof that cardio is needed to lose weight.  She works out hard and yet, in 9 months, I can’t see any difference in her weight.  I don’t know her personally so there could easily be other issues.  I just wonder how many people are just lifting weights 2-3 times a week and hoping it will be the magic cure.

That’s my thoughts for the day.  Have a great evening all.
