I think everybody should have one of these!
There I am, minding my own business and happily surfing the internet, dreaming of vacations, when my reverie is interrupted by an instant message.
A VERY INSISTENT instant message.
One that asks if I've walked today, and sternly tells me to get my butt off the internet right this minute, that I have to WATP. And, in my heart, I know that this nagging little voice will not be quiet until I obey her command.
Like a master drill sergeant, she tells me the clock is ticking, and to start that video NOW.
What could I do? I found the ab belt. I found the remote. I fast forwarded through Leslie's introduction. And I walked.
Now and then I peeked at the monitor to see if the drill sergeant had wandered off to bed, so I could abandon the workout. But no such luck. There she was, counting down the time. Telling me to lift those knees, work those thighs. Tighten up the fanny to better support the back.
She went all the way through cool-down, making absolutely sure I couldn't escape my chore.
Maybe I'll turn instant messenger off next time I want to surf in peace.
Thanks, Tammy! You got me off my butt and moving tonight. Sweet dreams!
