Workin' on my Fitness
Whomp. whomp. I've hit a plateau in the weight department. Sure, I haven't been super strict with my diet lately, but I don't think that's quite what's causing this pause on the scale. I believe it's the whole working out thing.
As in, I need to start working out. For months, I've been kidding myself with "playing with the kids is working out", but it's not. I have been losing weight every month by eating healthy, so I saw no use for adding an extra hour to my day to sweat. I need to get off my lazy butt and start running again or, at least, try a video.
The thing is, I hate working out. It's not really the actual workout that I hate, but all the things that surround working out. I've come up with 5, but there are probably 100 things I hate about working out. Is it just me?
Now, I'm off to start my week right by sweating through a workout video. Oh, and I might not get a chance to shower until Tuesday, so I apologize to anyone I run into ahead of time. Smelly, but in great shape. Sounds fantastic.
Linking up with Sarah from Venus Trapped in Mars today.
these are all so true -- well, except i don't wear makeup so that's not an issue but honestly the biggest reason i don't exercise is b/c i'm having a good hair day and i don't want to mess it up or i just dont have time to deal with my hair afterwards!
ReplyDeletetrue. I've always been a little jealous of boys or girls with really short hair that can hop in the shower real quick and then style their hair in 5 minutes. Maybe one day I'll be brave enough to chop off all my hair and not have to worry about it
ReplyDeleteReasons 1, 2 and 3 are the absolute worst. I can't tell you how many times I have dirty hair one day too many because I don't want to go through this whole process. Dry Shampoo, I love you.
ReplyDeleteYes! I will never understand how those women can go workout during their lunch break and get back to work with freshly washed hair and new makeup on time. Dry shampoo is definitely my dirty little secret most weeks too!
ReplyDeleteI hate exercise too. A lot. The whole getting put together thing is why I've been aiming to do my workouts either first thing in the morning or last thing before I hit the couch in the evening - that way I don't have to make myself presentable twice. BUT I don't have kids to interrupt me like you do!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I get so tired and shaky after workout classes that it is physically exhausting to just lift my arms above my head and shower. I plan my workouts around my hair... if I've straightened my hair that day, you might as well forget a workout.
ReplyDeletetotally with you on all these. AND i hate the actual working out.
