Finally, some exercise that I'm good at!!!!

Research confirms that drinking gives you the same benefits as yoga.

Quick, somebody pour me a glass of exercise. 

At what point does one enjoy exercise?

And more importantly, has anyone ever died from it?

So I'm on the exercise kick, trying to jumpstart my metabolism and keep the weight loss going.

I got the new EA Sports thing for Wii called "Active". I will say, it's fun. It comes with the resistance band thingy, and a strap that goes around your thigh to hold the numchuck when running or doing other leg stuff. You get your own personal trainer and the exercises are really fun. I'm doing the 30 Day Challenge.

It may kill me in as little as three.

The running in place is what damn near does me in. I am NOT a runner, unless it's to the bathroom after several beers. Even running for a couple of minutes (and yes, it's running in place, which for me means around the coffee table, into the kitchen and back) results in me breathing hard.

Tonight I stayed with it, even though I thought I was going to keel over from lack of breath. Not sure if it was from the cardio or my boobs smacking me in the face as I ran.

We'll see how the next 28 days go. Wish me luck.

I dare the Wii Fit lady to tell me one more time that I've gained weight. I will wrestle that bitch into submission yet.

Breathing hard and sweaty

....and yet no nudity involved. Sigh.

Have I mentioned that I hate exercising?

Clearly, by looking at me, it's not something I've ever made a habit of doing. I've never been into sports...playing them, that is....and I once paid monthly membership to a gym for a year and a half and never walked through their doors.

But I am finally accepting the fact that I have to incorporate movement into my current weight loss plan.

And I am NOT happy about it.

Everyone says once you get into it, you'll learn to love it. Frankly I don't see that happening. But I'm willing to give it a shot.

So I'm headed to the gym. Hopefully I will find a class or two that appeal to me, as I think I will do better in a group setting than just being left to my own devices.

If you have paid attention to my weight loss ticker, I am trying to lose 75 lbs. When you need to lose an Olsen like that, there's bound to be some flabby skin leftover, so I really need to firm up the muscles underneath the fat on my way down the scale.

:::Wonder how long I can continue putting off going to the gym this morning by writing this blog post?::::

So tell me, do you work out? If so, what do you do to keep yourself entertained? Did you hate it at first and learned to love it? Or do you have to force yourself to do it?

Oooh looky!!!!




I hit the 20 lb. mark this morning! Yay me!!!

By the way, look how big my tomato plants are!!! Remember, I'm 5'8" so these are pretty tall. And this was earlier in the week....I looked at them last night and they were up to my shoulders! They're ridiculous!
