Time to Get Off My Butt!

Filed under: Forward Progress — Karin at 9:24 am on Wednesday, May 30, 2007

I’ve been really slacking on the exercise front. I mean, reallllly slacking. And I decided that by the time we go on vacation in September, I want to be unashamed to wear a swimsuit at the hotel pool. And I want Mr. Syndromes to tell me how great I look when we (hopefully) have dinner with him when we visit San Diego this year…lol!

So, I’ve come up with a plan. I am setting the alarm on my cell phone for the top of the hour each hour until LG goes down for her nap. And every time it goes off, I have to drop whatever I’m doing (whether it be sewing, or internetting or playing with LG or reading a book or watching television (ha!) or whatever) and get up and do something physical. That could be popping in an exercise dvd for a 10 minute workout, putting on some music and dancing around for 5-10 minutes with LG or even running 10 laps around the house. Whatever it is, it has to include me getting off my butt and getting my heart rate up. It’s too darn hot to do anything outside, so I have to be creative. And setting a little goal of 10 minutes or less every hour seems a lot more doable than trying to work out for a half an hour to an hour at a time. Or even to get out of the house to go to Curves right now. I know that it’s better to get your heart rate up for 20 minutes at a stretch, but at this point I figure something is better than nothing. And many somethings are better than many nothings. So, I’m getting off my butt and doing something. And you know what? It feels good! I think when I do my 10 laps around the house next time, I’ll carry the hand weights with me…lol!
