Tone those arms so they don't look like turkeys

Ok.. I don't know what that little red dangly thing is on the Turkey...wait. Googled it. It is called a "Caruncle" and it turns bright red when a Turkey is upset or in courtship. Who knew.

ANYHOW!! The point I am trying to make is that I found this video from Real Simple magazine regarding how to tone up your arms. The flabbiness of my tricep when I wave made me think of the "Caruncle" on a Turkey. Thanksgiving is next week. We tend to EAT. Hence, the video.

So much to do. So much wasted time.

I would love to be a planner. You know the type. You have a list for the day. You follow it. You check things off.
You feel good about yourself.
You reassess.
You realize that there are things that really need to go on tomorrow's list and you make tomorrow's list today.

Then there are those of us who have planning ADD.

I start a day and realize, "aw man... I forgot to make that list!" so I start a list and while I am making "said list" I stop, do some laundry, log on to Facebook and then feel like I've just stubbed my toe when I realize "AW MAN I forgot I was WORKING on the list!"

So I get back to the list, only to realize practically the whole day has gone.
But... I have connected with tons of people on Facebook that I otherwise would have NEVER probably connected with since a) I don't live near them or b) I am too "in my own little world" to remember them on my own.

But there is that nagging feeling of "unaccomplishment" and the day winds down and I promise that tomorrow is going to be different. And then it's like 3 "week's of tomorrow's" later and I realized that the list I started still needs to get finished because the laundry that I got distracted with is still on the couch where I dumped it after the dryer finished with it.

My life is on the "Vicious hatred of lack of discipline" cycle.

What was my goal for 2010? To just OWN it. We all have "grown up"things that we need to do and so therefore we need to JUST DO THEM.

It's October 16 already. And Jan 1, 2011 is almost around the corner. According to the way I do things, it will probably be my next posting.

grrrrr.
