exercise

So I'm just gonna say it- I am lazy. I chose watching tv over exercise. I need exercise. Technically everyone needs exercise. It doesn't have to be for the purpose of loosing weight. Exercise is good for your body, mind and spirit. I have been told by my doctors and therapist that my mood will improve if I exercise daily.

Man if only I could get off the couch. I recently told my husband that we could use our house as a gym. Squats with the couch, sit-ups using the floor. Running up and down the stair well and much much more.

I have had 3 gyms in the past. Lucille Roberts- I went a handful to times and couldn't cancel the contract so I paid for gym I didn't use. Then there was Bally's- again I went their twice and paid a 3 year contract!!!! To break a Bally's contract is like impossible. you have to either die or move an insane amount of miles from a bally's gym. Then there was Planet Fitness. Hubby and I started going. Super cheap by the way! and we never made a routine of it. Stopped going and eventually cancelled.
So my treadmill at home broke. There is a gaping hole in the belt. So maybe Planet fitness could happen again. But if we move I don't want to be under contract with a gym.

I recently lost a lot of weight. when I quit drinking alcohol pounds shed quickly. I now fit into my size 2 jeans. But all my weight is in my belly. Sometimes a touch it and think: Erin you feel pregnant .. lol!!!!

I've tried dieting by juicing and cutting down on carbs. Boy is it hard. I prefer to eat what I want to eat and that's that.

Loosing weight also is easier if your partner does it with you! And my husband wants to lose weight so that's good.

I've always dreamed of being a runner. I can barely walk fast and lose my breath. Let alone run or jog!


Maybe I'll get off my duff and start. There's no time like the present.
