Day Thirteen: Sunshine in Glasgow.

Health and fitness wise, today was an extremely good day. This is handy because I worked out some pretty extreme goals for myself on the exercise front. I just feel like I've been so sedentary for so long, I need to push it as far as I can to remind myself why I enjoy this stuff in the first place.

I also got inspiration in an unexpected place for me, television. Now, I know I'm really weird about TV. I haven't had a television hooked up since 1998. Well, technically we have one in this flat, but it's in John's domain and I basically never go in there. I'm also probably one of the only people who works on TV shows that never even sees the finished version of the shows I work on. This doesn't mean that I don't watch television at all, because I watch my fair share on my computer, but it does mean that I don't happen across stuff. If I'm watching it, it's because I've been seeking it out (and it's probably super nerdy). So this is the first time I've ever watched The Biggest Loser. I'm watching the Australian version just because that's the choice YouTube gave me first. Let me tell you, it's pretty hard to let myself off with one 20-minute workout a day watching those people and what they're going through. It also serves to remind myself that my goal really isn't all that far away. I just have to be paying more attention. But it still has to be fun.

Today the sun came out in Glasgow. Briefly. And since I've been hiding inside for so long that I'm about to go absolutely bonkers, we ran off into it before it got a chance to start raining again. So we walked hit one of the museums, the necropolis, and ended with the oldest house in Glasgow. All this was really good in a number of ways:

1. These were all firsts for me that I hadn't seen out this way. I had been to the other necropolis, but I'm a sucker for old cemeteries (I blame my grandfather for founding one in my hometown) so that was fine.

2. I have photographic evidence of blue skies in Glasgow in February. My Arizona friends seemed to pick today to drive down to Sedona and post pictures of it's desert beauty. I think they do this on purpose sometimes. Oh well. My pictures are pretty too!

3. If any of you have ever spent any amount of time walking around with a man who is 6'8" you know exactly how fast they walk. (See, I'm not kidding when I call him my giant) At 5'2" I feel like I am always running around behind him. So this was a good calorie burning kick-start to the day :) 

From there I was able to do a full hour of aerobic yoga and still finish up with level 2 of my 30 day shred kicking my ass all over again! It is getting easier, but I'm not sure it'll ever add up to "easy" by the time I'm ready to hit level 3!

All in all? Today was a good day! How was it for you guys? Any chance of sun out there?
