Hip Hip Huh?

I'm telling you....post a goal for all the world to see and wait and see how many opportunities you have to sabotage it!  What a day yesterday.  Weight-wise, it wasn't great.  Bowling-wise, it was phenomenal...for me, that is.  I bowled 3 strikes in a row my first 3 times up.  I'm a turkey in bowling lingo. And boy was I strutting.  I had to ask "who am I?" those three times.  Then my fourth time up I bowled a split and guess what?  I spared on that split!!!!  LOL  I thought the world might be coming to an end, but here we are this morning.  Oh and wait.  My average is a 98 (I'm not bragging here) and my first game I bowled a 156!  Second game wasn't as great- I lost my groove....that can happen when you are strutting around bowling.  Anywho, my last frame I bowled a strike. Then another....then another!!!  I'm a two-timing turkey!!!  LOL  I bowled a 138 second game.  Third game....oops.....a 109.  Still I bowled over my average.  I think I need to practice this coming week.  Otherwise no one will believe it was really me bowling the week before.  So that's my good news.  The bad news is bowling has been my only form of exercising.  I think I told you (plenty of times...you should have it memorized by now)....my grain is to NOT exercise.  I really think I'm allergic to it.  I just can't get myself motivated.  There are too many other (more fun) things to do.

I really think I have it figured out, though.  I remember in grade school and even junior high, certain punishments involved walking around the track or running or whatever.  In junior high, I forgot to purchase and bring fabric for my homemaking class (it was really called that for all you youngsters).  The teacher ordered me to go outside and walk around the track.  For some, that would be enjoyable; for me, it was humiliation because the whole southside of the school and everyone going to the zoo or driving by could see that lone girl walking around the track.  In high school, several of us would leave campus and go eat lunch.  Getting back late to tennis meant we had to run....not walk...run around the courts.  Sometimes we had to run even if we weren't late.  Now what's with that?  Didn't Coach know we girls were there preparing ourselves for the country club atmosphere we were destined to have later in life?  Play tennis?....pppfffftttt!

I'm scared to post another goal here, but here goes....I, Strawberry, will no longer look at the "E" word as punishment.  E is good; dare I say "excellent?"  You, dear Grainiacs, will hold me responsible to exercising.  I have to do it.  Cutting out grains for these many months has helped get off 14/15 pounds but I need more.  I need to move my bones more than just once a week bowling.  So I purchased a hip hop dance video.  Now that's going from one extreme to another!  I hope there is strutting in the video.  I have lots of practice doing that.  Let's just hope my hips can take the hop!
