It does get easier, right? At some point, I will start to enjoy all this, yes?
*Sigh.*
I've made it through three workouts this week - I gotta tell you, Tuesday's Yoga/Bellydance DVD was a KILLER. Last night's Latin/Afro Dance workout wasn't too bad, worked up a sweat and all that, but it definitely reminded me of just how awkward I can be and how glad I was no one was watching! This morning after an appointment with the chiropractor (if he has children with braces, I'm the one paying the orthodontia bill) I went to the gym and hopped on the treadmill... actually somewhat encouraging as I found I can now run (versus fast walking) for longer than before.
One more workout this week to meet my goal, and two days to do it. Sweet!
Will be looking for an adult dance class - tap, maybe? - just to see if I can really have fun while exercising.
The weather's finally looking promising - what with the cutting of hours at my job and the nearing of the end of the school year, hiking and/or biking might make it onto the workout menu shortly...

Well whether you think it is a perk or not I have to say that the very fact that you have time to work out and lots of opportunities is a blessing..well atleast that's how I see it. I guess the grass is always greener on the other side eh! Oh well. I am still trying to figure what I am going to sacrifice just so I can exercise. Sleep...dinner...rare family time..those are seriously the sacrifices I will have to make if I am going to exercise. I also could go about an hour after dinner...but who wants to go running in the dark in AZ by themselves...seriously! Then there is the fact that the closest gym is 10 miles away (15-20min drive)...um not realistic right now. Well wish me luck in my sacrificing!
By the way the more you exercise the easier it does get! I promise I know from experience...plus sounds like you are finding that out already...running instead of fast walk...much improvement! And yes it does take longer than we would like...but when you are in shape exercising is fun!
Found out about a site that is free that tracks your fitness and nutrition and customizes it to you, plus does all the calorie counting and tracking of proteins etc.. for you and it's all FREE!! I love it! It also helps you with your work outs and tells you how much you need to burn in a week to loose the weight you want to. Anyhow the site is: www.sparkpeople.com Check it out I think you will like it.
