It’s a good sign when I go outside and it’s 26 degrees, and it feels like a heat-wave and I have the urge to go walking. That is a sign! If it goes over freezing – I WILL get my sorry ass out there and walk this week. I will.
I keep giving the treadmill a glance when I walk by it to do laundry, but I just don’t use it. Between my laziness for ACTUAL typical exercise, I can’t stand using it. I am bored in about two and a half minutes and dizzy in five, and looking for glucose in thirty minutes. At least outside, I feel like I have less of a chance of falling flat on my face, falling into traffic seems more pleasant.
Excuses, I haz ’em.
I also have a copy of Dancing with the Stars: Dance Body Tone
…which could be the first exercise DVD I have owned since my VHS copies of Richard Simmon’s Sweatin’ To The Oldies and a Susan Powter one.
All I know is that I had better get my ass moving if I want to continue blogging as post WLS “success” — nobody wants to watch a train wreck. Or maybe they do. 😡
I used to have a Susan Powter tape too! And a treadmill… that I used for a while but then it just gathered dust and clothes. I admire people who can do that sort of thing at home, but I can’t. I have to leave the house to get my exercise in.
I am working on a schedule for some 5K’s coming up. Get on the couch to 5K program so you can go racing with me. There are some good ones in Plymouth.
My suggestion is run with some Godiva in your hand. As you start to drop – pop one in. It’s a wonder I can’t lose any weight with that kind of suggestion!!!
I take a stack of glucose with me while I am walking outdoors, I tend to just EAT them while I walk, because I know it’s likely to drop.
