I had high hopes last year but they didn’t work out.  I don’t know if I will be able to workout as long as I am nursing.  For some reason my body can’t take the stress of exercise and nursing so I get sick every time I try.  But I am thinking about trying again next week so we’ll see what happens.  If I get sick then I won’t work out again until I’m done nursing Sweetness.

Just thinking about that makes me sad but I’ve gone this long so I guess I can survive for a few more months. I have nursed all my babies till they are one and she is almost 8 months old.

The good news is that I have lost all the weight from my pregnancy without working out.  Plus some.  I don’t know what I weigh because I always weigh myself at the gym but I have had to buy lots of new clothes in a smaller size.  That’s always a good thing!

Good luck to the rest of you motivated mamas!!!

I knew it was too good to be true.  I’ve worked out a total of four days and now I am sick again.  I guess this just isn’t meant to happen for me in this decade.

40 Minutes on the big stairs.

Not only did I work out two days in a row last week but now I’ve worked out two weeks in a row.  Crazy!

I ran a mile and a half on the treadmill.

I didn’t think I was going to make it to the gym tonight because I had book club.  But then Stranger ended up going to town to buy parts for our stove so I had him drop me off to work out.

I worked so hard this summer to build up to running 3 miles that I was scared to see how out of shape I am now.  I set a small goal to just run one mile on the treadmil.  It was easy enough so I ran a few intervals and then walked for a while.  It feels so good to be back!

*Instead of thinking of a title I’m using a quote from whatever book that’s sitting next to me at the moment.

There’s no way that could happen because I’m too obsessed with exercise.  I had to take a long break due to sickness and work.  You can see from my calendar that it was a REALLY long break but I finally worked out again!  It was fabulous and I wasn’t as out of shape as I thought I would be.  I did 40 minutes on the big stair machine.  Hopefully I will be able to go running tomorrow since I have book club and won’t be able to go to the gym.

The rumors you heard are true.  I am off sugar again.  Four whole days.  Nothing to get excited about but I am excited!  I always feel so good when I do this and this time I am going to stay off of it.  For the rest of my life!  It’s something I really want to do for my health.  This time there will be no cheating.  None of, “This one little brownie won’t hurt me.”  This time I’m going to keep true to the faith.

I haven’t worked out for weeks.  I’m sick again, and again, and again.

Someday…

Sure I went to the gym and pedaled on the stationary bike for 40 minute while I read a book but I didn’t actually work out.

I worked out!!!  I have been sick for two weeks and have really missed it.  So much for my goal this month.  I will have to reevaluate my goals once I see where my fitness level is.  I need to take a run some time this week to find out.

I did the big stair machine tonight for 40 minutes and worked up a nice sweat.  Then I was so exhausted that i could barely shower and get my kids to bed.

I put my workout clothes on and drove to town.  But then my husband called and practically forced me to go get a new cell phone.  Of course it took longer than it should have and I had a meeting to get home to so I never made it to the gym.

Friday morning I had about 47 things to do so I decided to go running instead.  A girl has to have priorities!  I couldn’t go all week without one single workout.

It has been a pathetic week.  Hopefully the next one goes better.
