Whats the Use of a Nearby Pool if You Don't Use It?
Have you ever had something major in your life happen that causes you to suddenly start doing things you normally wouldn't do? I don't understand my own train of thought but it seemed immediately after I found out we were moving for sure my second thought was, "I better start working out".
Snaaa? As Emily would put it.
All those years that I spent whining about my weight and not really doing much about it (okay, bellydance helped immensely) and now you can't stop me from doing a work-out. I have a Karen Voight DVD that is completely devoid of cheesy-ness and I have been religious about turning it on every morning. I know what it really comes down to; it's the fact that I will be moving down south and therefore will be wearing less clothes for a longer period of time. Unlike Wisconsin with it's 6 week summers, I will be forced to invest in shorts and tank tops or suffer a cruel death by heat exhaustion. As much as I dread this I'm getting no sympathy from Jamie at all; he suffers from severe psoriasis and so he wears longs sleeves and long pants year round no matter where he is. Besides, I know that I could be worse, but I'd like to be better and move down with confidence. If only I could lay off the Noodles & Co. and the Culver's. Sigh.
At any rate, I hope to at least gain some strength for moving and that is my final explanation. God knows I'll need the ability and the endurance since we won't have help moving things into our apartment, it will just be the two of us moving couches and boxes of books. So there. fabulous abs be damned. I'm just hoping to not have a hernia!
