I would walk a 500 miles...

NOT!

I would not not not!

I went on a 3 mile walk today, hardly anything if you ask me.

And I hated it, every step of it.

The whole time I was trying to convince myself I was doing good, and working out like I was supposed to.  BUT all I wanted was to go home and watch tv, or clean my house (yea, clean my house, go figure). Everyday I try to brainwash myself that I love to workout, that I am good at it, and that someday I will wake up and my body will be like "yo April, I feel like a run".

Fat chance.

You know how 'they' say that it only takes a few weeks of regular workouts for you body to adjust, and it will be easier.

Well, I think that is a myth.  A BIG FAT lie, that skinny people tell us fat people to fool us into working out.

It never gets easier, it never gets fun.  It is always boring, hard, sweaty, achey, and hurty (yea, I know that is not a word).

I hate doing it, and yet I know I must. 

I must, I must, I must.

Sorry, just trying to convince myself again.

The Great Gym Debate

So, I decided not to join the gym after all.  We can use the money elsewhere (like my second dvr I made Jason get me, and my Netflix account).  Mostly the things I want to work on, like my running, can be done without a gym pass.  I will miss the opportunity to go to some of the classes that I wanted...but there is always time for that later.

I am thinking of getting some exercise videos to do in the morning, because it is too loud to use the treadmill when the boys are sleeping.  I have no idea what I want to get.   Something aerobic, and maybe with some strength weight training.  I want to try that P90X workout, but I don't think I am tough enough ;)  Maybe a yoga video.  I want to get a couple different types, so I want switch of through out the week.

My plan is to get up Monday-Friday 6:30AM and do the videos, and then go running when Jason gets home Monday, Wednesday and Friday with a long run (to work on my stamina) on Sunday.  Ambitious?  Yes, maybe.  Do-able? Yes, definitely.
