Man! I'm pooped! Today I don't have the car. And I wanted to go and pick up the graduation announcements I am making from the local Walgreens. So I thought, "Hey! I need to exercise, and I need to go get the announcements, so I'll do both and walk there!"

BAD IDEA!

It is 1.4 miles there and good thing I didn't know that before because when I left I was thinking that it wasn't too far at all. LM #1 decided that he wanted to ride in the backpack instead of his brother. I thought, "Eh, they're only 5 lbs different, how bad could it be?" BAD. Not only is LM #1 5 lbs heavier, but he is a lot longer and so his weight is distributed differently. On our way there I tried to get him to sit in the buggy but he wasn't going for that. Oooooh no, he wanted to ride in the "pack-pack" with Mama.
Well, when we first left the house it was overcast and not too hot. But, true to Utah weather (and my bad luck), about half way there the clouds departed and the sun decided to show its awful face! ha ha But seriously 95 degrees wearing a 26 lb child and pushing a 21 pound child for close to 2 hours is not exactly my idea of a good time.
But hey, I got a good workout in right? Let me tell you this though, I was one hot, sweaty, sticky, smelly Mama.

This weight had better come off FAST!!

Monday 26 July 2010

So I decided today that I had better get back into trying to lose the baby weight again. I am home now, no more student teaching, and I have become quite lazy. Hubby and I were talking last night about how we have totally slacked off on our scripture reading and prayers personally and as a couple. So we made a commitment to each other to do MUCH better.

Well I was thinking this morning that I also need to do better on getting exercise in my day.

Then I thought about this blog and what a lazy bum I have been...

But I do have 'reasons' why I haven't been doing very good.
1. I only have a single stroller and 26 and 21 pound children. That means that I will be wearing one of them and that isn't a very appealing thought to me.
2. I like food. But Dr Laura says: "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels".
3. I am moving in less than three weeks and there is a LOT to do between now and then to get ready. I have tons of stuff to sell and I need to get on it.
4. It is HOT! And I really don't want to be outside. Lame I know.

All that being said, I will get 30 minutes of exercise in each day from now until we move.

Wish me luck! And I will let you know how it all goes.
