Live Healthy Iowa

I got roped into doing the Live Healthy Iowa thing this year.

I am still not thrilled about it.

Anyways... Austin's mom and sister decided that they would like me to join them in it this year. I have no clue what brought the change about, I don't really care. All I know is that I couldn't say no.

Oh, how I would have loved to said no. Couldn't though. Really how would they have reacted if I had said no. There would have been questions and then how would I look when it came out that I don't like his sister. So I am stuck for the next 89 days.

Then I was checking the dashboard for it today, seeing how our 'team' was doing, and I think one of them is padding their activities time. Every Friday we are to record how much weight we have lost and how many minutes we have exercised and what type of exercise we have done. Let me tell you right now that is the part that is going to kill me. I already exercised 3 to 4 days per week for 45 minutes to an hour doing aerobics and walking on my treadmill just to maintain the weight I'm at.

So they sign me up for this group and I have to do all this and how bad would it look if I didn't lose any weight but my cow of sister-in-law did. Great so last Friday I lost 6 pounds and put that I worked out for 3.5 hours. I cut my time in half so it didn't become a huge deal and they wouldn't think that I was padding my time. I won't be doing that this week because there is no way that Raquel and her mom worked out for a total of 8 hours and 25 minutes. NO WAY. That would be about 4 hours a piece. Roughly 40 minutes a day or a little over an hour every other day.

I just don't see it.

If keep at the pace I'm at then I will be posting 7 hours of activity and that is just the time I am on the treadmill or doing my tape. That's not including all the minutes that I spend playing chase with Mason and other stuff like chasing the dogs outside and such... All which totally count.

I know, your thinking that if I can do that then why can't they? um... because.... I was at Robin's this last weekend and her elliptical had dust on it. I know not unusual for things to collect dust but dust where you supposedly stand... and she let it slip that she gets to do her wii fit from 5:30 to 6 and she does it every other day. Hello that would be 1.5 to 2 hours for the week which would leave Raquel with 6 hours.

1. There is no way she is doing it before work because she can't get her butt out of bed to get to work on time she is not going to get up and work out...
2. She works until 5:30. She goes home and cooks supper for her husband and then he leaves for work about 8.
3. After he leaves for work I can track her on Facebook playing games because she post all her scores.

No, I don't give benefit of the doubt. I know I could care less if they think I pad my times because they don't know that much about me. Pretty bad statement when I've known them for almost 14 years.
