Exercise
I have a love/hate relationship with exercise. I love the way I feel while I am exercising and how it makes me feel the rest of the day. It just boosts my energy and I can tackle anything the boys throw at me. But here lately I just am not motivated to even start. I know that I will love the finished product but I am just not dying to wake up before the boys to do it. I need someone to do it with. Stephanie and I started riding bikes back in the fall and it was wonderful! But now its too cold. Once it warms up we will probably ride some but she is running a 10K in July and I am going to train with her!! I am very excited about this but I wish that it would start tomorrow b/c then I am held accountable and have someone to run with. I do not think its fun to exercise by myself. So my weight loss goals have no been the best b/c of my lack of exercise! Last night during AWANA we played Red light Green light with the Sparks (kind.-2nd graders) and I ran around the gym with them thinking I was in good shape...by the end of it I was seeing stars and about to throw up! That was rock bottom for me. I will not be out run by little kids :) So I exercised this morning and will hopefully stay committed to doing it daily!!!! I will keep you updated on how often I do this. I would love words of encouragement or ideas of how you exercise!!!!

Good luck! I always intend to exercise but always find reasons not to. Just keep it up and soon it will be second nature!
Soon sister soon! We will start soon. I am ready but it is toooo cold!
i totally understand your pain!!! when i was pregnant with jack, i had a membership to the YMCA. ben's parents paid for it. i went everyday and excercised. it helped me when i felt nauseated and it really gave me some energy. i also lost weight during my pregnancy and i just felt better overall! well now, the membership is over, and we aren't members anymore b/c we can't afford it. there is nowhere to walk where we live. there are no sidewalks, we live in on a busy street and we don't live in a neighborhood! so i'm frustrated. i've lost 35lbs since having jack, but i desperately want to loose more! but i have no one to work out with and nowhere to go!!!! i've thought about doing work out videos, but those just don't have the same effect! so, i feel stuck! but i'm excited for you! training sounds like fun! i know you can do it!
i started working out last monday. it was supposed to be the start of working out. um yeah i only did it one day... i say it was because i got sick again. in reality i am just really lazy. heck i sit at a desk across from a state of the art gym at work. it stares at me every day and i just sit and stare back at it and drink my little coke and keep thinking "oh one day i'll work out in there, but today i think i'll go to the fridge and get another coke, oh maybe a doughnut too..." and that is why i am having to buy new clothes.
but i do want to get back in shape for sure, i feel so unhealthly! just five minutes on the treadmill and i was seeing stars...
