WOW that felt good....

Ya know when your life is so busy and stressful that you KNOW you need to exercise but your body just wants to get work done and rest??? (I know, I know, most of you DONT know that). ANyway, today I got back on the bandwagon (so to speak). I continued to do the work I needed, but everytime there was a commercial, I hopped on my step. Now I am sweaty and happy and craving a shower (but my hour of commercials arent up yet...):D

Hey, good for you!

I know there are times when I don't feel like working out. But it never fails that when I do, I feel ten times better afterwards.

Congratulations on getting back on the wagon, and I hope you stay on track for a while!

Hopefully this will inspire me to go for a run after my eye doctor appointment tonight. Whenever anything unusual comes up, it throws off my routine. More often than not it's an excuse not to exercise.

I resolve to not do that today, in honor of your post!

--scout, who hopes she don't have to eat crow tomorrow! :D

Hey Kim!!
I have been thinking about you!!
Sometimes it is hard to find the motivation to exercise- but I always feel better after (okay my knees feel worse but my spirit soars).
When my girls were little running was my salvation- I used it for my "me" time and its amazing how many problems you can solve and how many great meals you can plan. Sure hope things are well with you!

I totally applaud you - I HATE working out more than anything else in the world so I totally understand the urge to NOT work out - and I give in to it all the time. I am not one of those people that feels better after excerise - I hate every second of it, I feel awful afterward, I hate the feeling sweaty part, etc. so you get big kudos from me!

Wow,

Tonight I did almost the same thing... but I'm dancing to oldies on the radio while I do my nightly chores... Gotta go.. Bob Segar's on!

Just for closure's sake (because I know you were on pins and needles), I did not run last night.

However, I managed to drag my butt out of bed this morning and go to the gym instead. Friday is normally a day of rest, so it made up for the flaking last night.

There. You can resume your normal lives how. :D

Same with me. My girls are little and until I had them I worked out but didn't enjoy it. Now that I'm a SAHM I really enjoy my time alone exercising. Once DH comes home from work I shut my bedroom door and jam to an exercise video or run on the treadmill. It's great stress therapy!
