You might hate it, but you still do it

It comes up in everyone’s life now and then – something you really HATE doing, but you still do it.

For me, it happened this morning:  keeping to my New Year’s resolution of working out at least 3 times a week.

Worked late in Wrigleyville last night, Roy was a bear this morning, and all I wanted to do was watch more of Season One of the best TV show ever made, The Wire.

BUT … I worked out, and I actually feel much better.  How does it happen that way?

I’m curious what your #1 is … the thing you hate to do the most, but you still do it because you know you should.

Let’s chat about it, today after 3pm.

2009 a month old, and you’re still hanging on too?

We only have 2 days remaining in January.  This is the first year I’ve ever really made New Years’ resolutions, and I can’t believe I’m still doing them.  It’s a good thing, right?

• Get healthier by exercising at least 3 times a week (more, hopefully, as time goes on).
• Drink 8 full glasses of water a day.
• Eat more fruits & veggies.

I’m still doing all 3, and it’s crazy.  I do feel better, but I’ve never used the bathroom so much in my life.

Plus, waking up at 2am to visit that room … waking me out of a sound sleep … will it ever end?

I want to know what NY Resolutions YOU are holding on to, and proudly at that.

Let’s talk about it today, after 3pm.

Kellie Pickler is hot for HIM?

What a great afternoon yesterday … a live audience of 120+ from Pheasant Run Mega Center in St. Charles, and Kellie Pickler stopped by too!

She told me about her big plans for 2009, whom she admires most, what movie star turns her ON like no other, and much more!

If you missed our conversation, you can listen to it at the Podcast page.

Stay warm today, and I’ll see you tonight for the US 99.5 After Party with Jimmy Wayne!

I’m the redneck of our block

Did you miss Brad Paisley on the show yesterday?  He gave me the OK to be the redneck of my block, in addition to bragging about his mad high school winter sporting skills.  Click the Podcast page above, and you can listen to the entire conversation.

Something I’ve been thinking of for months – what can we do different to save money in today’s economy.  How are you trimming costs?  Jill & I are trying something new for our home phone, and it could save us up to $300 a year.

It arrived on Wednesday, and we love it so far.  If we’re still digging it in 2 weeks, I’ll tell you what it is, and we’ll officially drop our local & long distance home phone costs.

What’s the best way to save cash in today’s world?  Let’s talk about it, today after 3pm.

Harder than I thought

On the surface, drinking eight glasses of water a day seems easy.  Right?  Wrong.

I had success yesterday, but I’ve never peed so much in my life.  Seriously!  Plus, I had to consciously be thinking, “OK, another hour, I need another glass.  Maybe if I break them into half-glasses, it’ll be easier?”

Regardless, I haven’t felt that good, as a whole, in a long time.  I’m already on glass #3 today (or is it 4?).

Speaking of success, Roy had a great pediatrician’s visit this morning for his 15-month check-up.  Amy & Delores there are big fans of the show, and usually give me a “happy visit” sticker too.  I don’t ask for them, really.  *wink*

By the way, do you remember the last time you lied to someone to spare their feelings?  Your spouse?  Your child?

I’ve got a fun story to share … let’s talk about it, today after 3pm.

Day 3, and still rolling

Today is Day 3 of my New Years’ resolutions, although I think of more importance, it’s the first year I’ve ever really done them.

But … day 3, and I’m still AOK.  I did add one more to the list, though — drinking *8* eight-ounce glasses of water a day.  Jill’s been on me for years to do it, but I never saw the point.  I know, I know.

Strangely enough, I’ve had 4 glasses so far today (it’s about 12:30pm), and I actually *feel* better than I have in a long time.

Glass of water right out of bed, still my cup of DD coffee, and more water.

Have you already given up on any NY resolutions?  Need a little encouragement? 

Let’s talk about it, today after 3pm.  On US*99.5!
