huffin’ & puffin’
I’ve decided lately that I can’t THINK off this baby weight (from the last 3 babies, that is). It will take more effort than that, I believe. I may have to stop relieving stress by eating Sixlets. I may have to exercise. Less eatin’ – more walkin’. Please consider me a genius for realizing this. Or not. But at least I realized.
Jimmy stayed home this morning for an extra 30 minutes so I could become reacquainted with the treadmill. It had been a few months since we had met. I walked for 28 minutes and ran for 2. The kids stared and acted like it was the coolest entertainment of the day to watch me exercise. Truth be known – I’m a total wimp.
It feels great to make efforts. Accomplishing is a good feeling.
In other news. Can you tell what this picture is of? I went outside to cool off and saw this snow piled on my tulips. Poor little tulips are so confused this year. They won’t know whether to grow or hide from the snow.
Great job Heath! You go girlfriend! I need to follow your example. It’s so hard to get back in shape. I would rather pop a cookie in my mouth! Uggghh. And look at the snow on your tulips! Oh no! :) Hope it melts away fast.
You can do it! I know you can. One thing I’ve realized about you, reading your blog, is that you are determined. Especially when it’s something GOOD. Baby steps, right? And doing something is better than doing nothing at all. It’s the small victories that keep us going. I don’t know if you’re like me, but exercise improves my EVERYTHING. Those endorphins are miracle workers!
And about those sad little tulips, I WILL pray for them! Poor, trusting little gals.
