Working Out

I will be the first person to say that I am not a health conscience person. I don’t work out and I don’t eat healthy. I guess that is why when my mom wanted to borrow my P90X videos, I said that I would do them with her. What was I thinking? Apparently I wasn’t thinking at all. Who in their right mind actually enjoys working out? I don’t. In fact, I loathe working out. Looking at all my fat jiggling and waving around doesn’t make me feel better. It actually makes me feel worse. How is working out going to help me feel better if I can’t stand to look at myself? Since I am 25, I decided now is the time for me to really try. With my mom as my support/work out buddy, I feel that I might get some new attitude I didn’t have before.

I had “before” pictures taken yesterday. OMG! What a sight that was! I am hoping to see some kind of miracle! I was weighed and measured. I don’t like that being done (even at the doctors office) but I believe that maybe, just maybe, I might feel better about myself if I stick to the regiment my mom has decided on. I hope I don’t crash and burn before then.

With summer right around the corner, pool time is coming quickly. I don’t care what I look like at my house but if we have company, I am not getting anywhere near a pool without a moo-moo on. Nobody is going to see this nastiness. I enjoy swimming and I think that will be motivation for me to really stick with this program. I might continue to randomly post about my experiences but I don’t think it will be an everyday thing. I want to share my ups and share my downs but I don’t want to recall every moment. Some things are better left unsaid.

Brendan has been worn out just from his football camp on Sunday. He was dragging all day yesterday. It was pretty funny to see him so tired. I hope that is a good sign of things to come for him. I will be at the fields all day pretty much on Sunday. Concession stand, football camp, parent meeting and then cheer camp. Whew! I’m tired just thinking about it. I hope that Brendan really enjoys the football experience. I hope that he continues on this journey for himself and not for us. I think he needs this one thing that makes him feel good. Now, if he makes it, it’s going to be rough. Brendan is a strong and resilient child. He will do great!

Kaylie, of course, doesn’t seem to every have any issues with cheer. Well, except the listening and talking part. The girl doesn’t seem to realize that there is a time to talk and a time to listen. I don’t know what I am going to do with her. She has fabulous coaches and I know they won’t let her get away with anything. The fact that the coaches are friends of mine makes it even better! Kaylie and her BFF are going to have a blast this year. I really can’t wait for this all to begin. AHMO!

Wish me luck in the coming weeks that I continue with my work out routine and I survive my kiddos’ extracurricular activities!
