Exercise. . .Is it Fun? or is it Not?


EXERCISE!!!!

So, I am in the constant debate about exercise. Here is a little bit of what goes on in my head each morning when I think about exercising lately:

5:30 -- "Oh no! I slept in and missed the spin class. I guess I'll just run in a half hour or so"

6:00 a.m. -- "hmmm, it is my summer vacation, maybe I should sleep in since I already missed the spin class. . . . oh, but I should get up and exercise. I always feel better when I exercise. Maybe I should wait until it is sunny so that I actually want to be outside, or maybe I should exercise now before it is too hot"

6:05 -- "What do I want to wear today? Do I have to exercise to feel like I can wear that outfit? Maybe I should buy a scale. . . I haven't weighed myself in a while.

6:10 -- "I did run yesterday, maybe my muscles need a break!

6:15 -- "I better get into a habit for the summer or else I will never go. . . I think I'll buy a new pair of running shorts then I will want to exercise. Better yet, I'll sign up for a 1/2 marathon then I will HAVE TO run! "

6:20 -- This is when I finally get up and go running or ride my bike or whatever it might be!

Lets be honest I ALWAYS feel better when I exercise, but I just wish I had someone to run or ride with. . . . oh well! Let me know how you feel about exercise!

Well becuase you asked so nicely... exercise i think is great when you are in a consistent habit that works with your schedlue... you can find something that you like to do like a bike or swim... have enough time on your hands... have cute work out clothes... have motivation...what ever... see it seems so simple!

I need VARIATION!!!

But, since I know Amber has run at least 1 marathon, I think running is actually possible for me. I think I might start training for a 5k at disneyland in Aug.

Hey, you are doing a lot better than me. I think the last time I exercised was two years ago!
