Madison and I just got done working out
I haven’t worked out in a long time — my lung capacity, rather on the large size and bad attitude will attest to that. I was remembering that the last time I was in killer shape (for me — my killer shape looks different than I once hoped in my blasted teen years) started when Noah was about four. Four seems to be when I quit thinking of my kids as babies and start thinking of them as kids. 3-year olds still look awfully small and vulnerable and needy and parent-centric to me.
Anyway! I’m going to go back on the squeaky, thumping, broken elliptical trainer. If I keep waiting for the perfect situation to get fit I’ll never find it so the squeaky, thumping, broken elliptical trainer it will be. At least I have one (that’s what I tell myself). So I did that while Madison performed feats of greatness on her mini-trampoline. (Just for kicks, I’m going to upload a picture of her getting xmas morning when she was one going on two. She was cute and fuzzy!)
Remember when I got up to an hour on the trainer? Yeah. Well. Twenty minutes this time around folks. I must have patience!
Wow — endorphins are AWESOME!
I just commented on Patti’s new blog that I am up for exercise- walking around the neighborhood if anyone is interested. I run 3 days a week, but walking is like bonus no-effort exercise and I get bored by myself.
Endorphins ARE awesome!
I’m on an exercise kick this summer too. I joined the Y and there is babysitting there so I’d just as soon be on the treadmill daydreaming as chasing them around the house cleaning up spilled crumbs. Ha. But then I took a Pilates class and I really like it.
