So............. today is day 2 for this blog, I have yet to work out. But for what's its worth I have thought a lot about doing some type of activity. lol
This morning my lil one and I had to walk across to the parking lot on the other side of our housing complex.. My son was so happy that we were walking. (he is a 3 yr old with overwhelming energy) The whole way over to the car, he kept singing..."we're walking to the car, we're walking to the car" ... I on the other hand, dreaded the fact that we were "walking to the car". We were already running 15 minutes late and I know the walk really wouldn't be setting us back but I so wished that my car was conveniently parked in my garage instead. But I guess that's why I'm struggling with 100+ extra pounds, B/c I couldn't slow down enough to enjoy a small simple walk to the car. lol
On my drive home from work today I was thinking about activities that I could do to fit in exercise but also include my son. (My first excuse for not being able to work out is, "I didn't have a baby sitter" )I figured we could go for a walk to the park, but when I picked him up from school the thought of walking in the hot hot heat was no longer appealing to me. Then as I'm turning into my apartment complex, I see a very fit man running in the hot hot heat. of course first thought to mind was, ...this fucking guy! lol I seriously had to laugh at myself then, because he wasn't letting the heat determine wether or not he was going to do something positive for himself today. however, that wasn't enough to get me out of the house once I walked in. I'm a horrible person for complaining about my weight/size and doing nothing about it I know.... but fuck it at least I'm being honest about it!
My goal for the next two days is to do a minimum of 2 things outside of the house that could be considered a form of exercise. I'm hoping to make up for yesterday and today obviously. but mainly because as I am sitting here writing this the thought of my son and his natural craving for physical activity came to mind. I need to strongly increase my fitness level very quickly because today my son is 3 years old and extremely active and I don't want to think that in 10 years from now he is a couch potato that does absolutely nothing but watch TV and play video games all because his mother did not participate in physical activities with him or encourage him to play outside. He will quickly tell you that when he turns 4 in November he can play baseball and soccer(the enrollment age is 4). I definitely want to provide him every opportunity to play as many sports as he is willing to play. I believe involvement in sports help teach young kids how to share and over time sports activities help keep kids grounded and keep them goal orientated. Sports also offer a great way to stay in shape and also teach people how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Damn, I wish my dad would have let me play soccer when I wanted to.... I could have the most beautiful looking thighs ever!
Well, I have to work early so its ttym for now! Gdnite!!! :]
P.s. Tomorrow I will post my before pics and maybe some past before and after pics of many years of battling the bulge. hahaha!
