Subject: I actually exercised

I decided this morning that if it didn't get too hot, I would do my Richard Simmons exercise video. Well, I thought about it for a few minutes, and realized that it wasn't too hot yet and there wasn't any legitimate reason not to exercise right then.

So I did it!!!

I had to just walk in place for one song towards the end, because I got a charlie horse in my leg, but I stayed moving through the whole thing.

Heck, sometimes I was even doing what Richard and his gang were doing.

A couple of times I was even doing it as fast as they were.

Okay, okay, it didn't suck as bad as I thought it would. I had to take a couple of calcium/magnesium tablets afterwards, and I need to take a couple more in a little while, because the charlie horse won't ease up the rest of the way.

I don't like to sweat. I'm of the school that horses sweat, women should maintain a calm, cool appearance. Sweat was dripping off me like I was standing in a rain storm. (I used to say that someone was sweating like a pig, until my SO who was raised on a farm informed me that pigs don't have sweat glands).

So... for the rest of you procrastinators out there. If I can find one morning where there wasn't any reason to put it off, can't you find 5 minutes to walk to the corner and back? Or crawl the length of your house and back with your baby? Have crawling races with your toddler. Sure, you'll lose, but the kid will still think you're a hero.

Well I don't have any little ones to crawl with, but I'm going to go for a walk for the 2nd time this week. I planned to go yesterday after work but I was too tired. Today I think I need it if for nothing else but the de-stress effect by itself. (NT) -- Kel, 16:42:35 07/16/02 Tue

Hey good for you Katie! See you can do it! Not too bad is it? (NT) -- Sherry, 19:45:03 07/16/02 Tue
Katie, you're so funny! You really make me laugh with your great low carb sense of humor. I don't have any children either, but I have a dog- and I really try to get outside and walk her every night- but there are a few nights here and there that I'm just too tired after work. Now that the dancing snoopy is up there, it will make me think of my dog and how I should taker her for a walk! (NT) -- Heather, 22:37:45 07/17/02 Wed
