Working Out
Some of you who know me in real life know how much I dislike working out and that's an understatement. I love to walk but too scared to go alone with the kids. We live in a good area but it still freaks me out to be alone. Anyway, I'm been a little depressed from life that happened in the last 6 months and I'm tired of feeling that way. I've gained a little weight but it's not really the weight gain that bothers me but it's giving me a belly that I've never had before and I know that since I'm not getting any younger I need to start working out. We can't afford a gym membership (probably wouldn't go anyway) and I don't really have a friend to work out with so I started saving some exercise shows on my dvr and today found one that I like. Leigh and I used to go to a kickboxing class when we were roomies and I really liked it. The video I found today is a lot of the same things we did back then so I decided that will be my video for the next few weeks. Hubby is thrilled b/c I'm usually just lazy. He set a goal for me that if I work out consistently for the next 2 weeks we will go buy me a new pair of tennis shoes. Exciting??? It is for me b/c getting new shoes is a luxury around here since I'm a stay at home mom and I can't wait to meet the first goal. The next goal will be for 4 weeks and I get to go get my hair done! Woohoo! I could go get my hair done anytime I want but it comes out of my small checks I get for my work at church and it's a huge luxury for me. But if I meet my next goal (still 6 weeks away) then hubby will pay for me to get my hair done! I can do this! I like having the goal b/c it will make it easier for me to do it everyday. I tried to get Andrew to work out with me today but he just sat on the couch and watched...and eventually fell asleep. He is still complaining about his leg. The doctor said everything is fine so I just ignore him when he cries about it hoping it will eventually go away if he's not getting attention for it. Anyway, just thought I would go public with my workouts so maybe it will motivate me even more to stick with it! Hope you are all having a fantastic week!

For some reason, I just never thought about you getting fat! lol
ReplyDeletePoor David! He's is going to be out some money over this! I know how determined you can be!LOL
Have you tried just giving Andrew Tylenol to see if it helps? Do they get Pez candy? You could give him Pez candy (put in a tyelnol bottle of course) and tell him they were tylenol to see if it really is bothering him. DD complains of leg pains as well. It's not as often any more, and mainly just at night now. So we do give her tylenol or she won't sleep. Mainly it's when she's done way too much activity through the day!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with working out. I also am trying to loose some weight. I started two days ago with my eating first. Trying to just eat healthier and make better choices!! I know the feelings you're going through, I'm having the same ones! I'm done, and I feel if I loose some weight, maybe it will help things out. HUGS mama!
Good Luck Melissa -- I enjoy walking on the treadmill,but cutting down on eating is hard. My sister said that what you should do is what ever you are going to eat,just eat half of it. (easier said than done) --You have a challenge though with David giving you rewards. That will keep you going. Take care.Love ,Kathy
