Exercise

So, I am going to be completely honest in this post and admit that I have never really "exercised". In high school I somehow managed to get my chiropractor to write a note that got me out of PE. I know, pathetic. I have always felt blessed to have good genes. Not anymore! After having my third baby, Sophia, a year and a half ago I thought I had the world on a string. I had only gained 17 pounds that pregnancy. I was so excited after I came home from the hospital to see my weigh in. I was surprised to discover that I had only lost 7 pounds. What the hell? My baby weighed 7'6 and doesn't the placenta and water count for something? Basically I came home gaining 6 oz. No biggie, I thought, nursing will make it all go away. NOT TRUE!!! I didn't lose a pound nursing and now six months after stopping to nurse I am still 10 pounds behind. A lot of people say that 10 pounds is not a big deal, but when you are 5'2 it is a huge deal! I am getting payback for the non-use of my body. So I now publicly vow that I will exercise everyday from now on. Whether it is just going on a walk or going for a run I am going to do it.

(I have to note that Seth and I have been glued to the T.V. watching our new favorite Lost and watching all of the "fit" actors has kind of brought this on.)

I like how she doesn't mention that while I was "sitting in front of the tv" I was also working 12 hour days. Thanks hun... out of sight out of mind.

That is why you just don't own a scale. They are evil. But I guess excersize is good. Maybe I should try it. Look how inspiring you are.

I have a difficult relationship with exercising. Every time I get in some sort of rhythm I either get sick or injured. I've gotta battle through it though, I've been running lately but allergy season is coming quickly here and it comes with a vengence.

Scales are evil. It doesn't really matter. I also get sick when I run. It has been a problem since the fun runs in 7th grade. By sick I mean that I run out of breath and have to walk. I need to do it though, if not for the great physical appearance aspects but for my heart. I don't want to die at 40 because I couldn't get off my a to work out.

I can never get into a rhythm anymore. I'll run four days straight and then miss a month. Sucky sucky.

That is totally me, except I just run for 1 day instead of 4. I think I just need to realize that I am not an endurance athlete and just do some hooked on aerobics everyday.

Hey Hottie, How is the working out going? Man, I just dont think I am the work out type. I just think I should have more kids and chase them around. That seems to be an awesome work out.
