Soccer
The little boy was watching The Backyardigans for the nth time for the nth day actually! Yes it has become a part of his daily routine and now he is watching the episode about the game of soccer. He actually loves to watch the other kids in school play soccer and maybe he got that interest too watching and hearing about it in this cartoon show. Now I could hear him saying “Grrrrrr soccer!” since that episode involves the charcaters turning into monster soccer players when they play the game. Seriously, hubby and I are thinking about enrolling him in soccer since he likes to watch kids play in school after his class.
What to Give
What to give to a five year old? That was something that I have been asking myself since yesterday morning. I wonder if he would love getting one of those personalized baseball bats among those personalized gifts that I found recently which are usually given as gift, souvenir, reward or thank you gift to athletes in one’s family.
This little boy likes sports somehow but not really into the real baseball game though. But I used to see him showing interest in the game when he would see it at the sports channel in the cable tv before. Other than the bat, I may have to find another option of what to give as a birthday gift. I may have to ask my sisters for any other suggestions.
Which to Buy
Treadmill or stationery bike? That was a question posted by a friend and old classmate of mine way back grade school asking friends for opinion, suggestion or advices on which to buy. She wants to buy one of those exercise equipments to help her in her goal to diet and lose weight. I have to agree with one of those who commented that whichever she gets to buy, the important things is that she has to really use it to its potential. I have a treadmill given by hubby during last year’s mother’s day but I don’t get to use it often. So I think my friend has the will to use regularly whatever she decides to buy. On the other hand, I can tell her to check nordic trac which has a sale currently on a lot of their highest rated exercise equipments and machines and they are giving out an additional 5% off the sale price to go along with their great sale. This is valid for web orders only though.
Forgot
… to watch the late show I wanted to see. I just hope I can find a replay of it later during the day or I can always ask for hubby’s help and resourcefulness in those kinds of things. For now I just have to keep on working while I am given the chance that the lil boy slept early and I am still quite awake to think and think. But I have to sleep in awhile coz of the big boxing fight we have to watch in a few hours from now. That I should not forget!
Move That Body
Just have to tell myself to “move that body”! As much as I would wish it was different but I sort of have a sedentary lifestyle. I sit too much most of the day and I lack physical exercise. So lately when I take a break online, I go walking around the house, dance, jog or march in place, just about any movement as long as I move my body. I missed biking and we do not have a bike here except for my son’s three-wheeled bike. LOL!
Trigger an Attack
Watching UFC can trigger an attack. I simply cannot take watching this sport on TV for long. The matches I am seeing now at UFC 103 ends so fast and the fights are stopped due to TKO. The losing opponents are knocked out getting strong punches knocking them out of their senses. I have to take deep breaths and not look anymore. Honestly this is one of my least liked sports to watch. Why I am watching? Because hubby has the TV tuned it now. What I do not want to watch are those fights where they pound their fists on their opponents head lying on the floor and it seems so gross and so violent. Good that the lil boy is still asleep and he does not see these fights. If i were to choose between wrestling and UFC, I’d rather watch wrestling as it does not have much of that effect on me unlike UFC.
Use It
The treadmill hubby gave me for mother’s day is tucked away in the room and he reminds me to to use it when I do mention that I wanna have an exercise. I have somehow stopped using it since my son loves to join in when I am using it and it is not that comfortable plus my feet easily get painful especially my sole after just a few minutes on the treadmill. So I was thinking maybe I need an exercise with less impact on my soles or feet and I thought of biking so I was kind of thinking of selling the treadmill with hubby’s permission of course or if he would allow me to find an exercise bike or maybe one of those ellipticals I have seen and we even tried it on the store before and it was nice. There were those that were on sale with discoounts online that I was hoping we can get soon. There is one item on inventory clearance sale and it has a space saver design. We need that feature coz our room is already cramped with things already including the treadmill.
