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!
