fitness & adhd.

Fitness.  It haunts me.

I really enjoy working out and being active.  That's the crazy part.  Unfortunately, my ADHD prevents me from enjoying most "free" activities.  Like walking.

The boredom from walking alone will put me into a coma.  I can play competitive sports all day.  I am one competitive chick.  There was a time, years ago, that I would meet up with friends after work at 7pm and play sand pit volleyball until 2:00 and 3:00am.  I require a much more social approach to fitness.  Either that, or a more fun way....like a game.

In a perfect world, I would go and purchase the arcade game of Dance Dance Revolution and put it in my house.  No lie.

FACT:  I look THIS awesome when I play.  (theboxmeister.tumblr.com)

I absolutely love to make a fool of myself playing that game.  I have a long list of friends whom I have forced to humiliate themselves right along with me.  It's a must.  The best way for a group of girls to get over themselves and just have fun.  I have the knack for not taking myself too seriously.

But not only is it fun, DDR will put the smackdown on you and never apologize.

I need that kind of approach to fitness.  Any donations would be appreciated. ;)  Until then, I'm off to the gym...

five senses friday #3.

Five Senses Friday is were I reflect on the last week through the senses.  This week has been rather nice.  Not too hectic.  Not too stressful.  I love weeks like these.  I especially love that this Texas heat is subsiding and the cool air is starting to show up. 

Without further ado, here is my week...

Tasting::

Seems like I've been on a chicken kick this week.  It's been a lot of chicken up until last night.  The mister cooked his smothered pork chops and homemade bread.  YUM!  I'm also out of coffee.  Ugh.  I need to go grocery shopping pretty bad.  Looks like I just made plans for my Saturday...

Feeling::

My favorite road in Bells, Texas.

Nostalgic while driving down the backroads of home...especially my favorite road.
Awesome because I could finally wear a scarf.  Cool breezes blowing through the house from my open windows.  Cold at night because my polar bear of a husband likes to have the windows open AND the fans blowing.  Brrrr....

Seeing::

The wedding cake.

Megan & Uncle David.

My family from my dad's side at my cousin's wedding.  Megan was a gorgeous bride and the wedding & reception were a Pinterest dream!  I loved getting to catch up with everyone.  I especially loved seeing my Uncle David's sweet dance moves.  I'm a proud member of an overly-Caucasian family...
The mister and I also watched "Looper."  Pretty cool, if ya ask me.  Although Joseph Gordon-Levitt trying to look like Bruce Willis was a little hard to get used to.

Hearing::

 

The rain hitting the windows.  Funny stories from the mister.  Country music blasting at the wedding reception.  Protests from Jax as we teach him to lay down.

Smelling:: 

The rain.  Home cooking in the kitchen. ....and once again, Jax.
