Okay, so, derek and i are pretty healthy as far as how we eat...most of the time, with the occasional splurge & we used to be really good about going to the gym or doing something active. lately, we just feel like a couple of blobs...no energy, can't get off the couch once we sit down to watch something on t.v. at night, etc. i didn't really want to sign up at the gym again. for one, we don't live as close to it as we used to, so i don't know if we'd go enough to get our $'s worth and with 2 kids, there's always the stress of having to figure out a time when we could drop the girls off at derek's parents house, or go one at a time, or have to leave the girls in the gym child care, which i did with kaia a couple of times, only to come back to see her trying to eat a crayon (she was probably about 18 months old or so)...yea, i didn't feel like i could even concentrate on working out, cuz i was worried about her the whole time. i would just go run outside, but i've tried that before too and it kills my knees and ankles after about a week, it's just way too much impact on the joints, i guess. so, anyways, derek's wonderful parents gave us their treadmill since they don't use it. i used to run 3 miles 3 times a week and the other 2 week days, i'd do kick boxing. needless to say, i'm not trying to do anything like that right away, so , i thought i'd start off with an easy mile. well, i DID run 1 mile this morning, but it was far from easy! i felt SO out of shape, but i did it. my plan is to run 3 times a week, and i'm really gonna try to keep it up. so far so good! :)

You can do it! Its rough in the beginning but your endurance will come back quickly :)
Good for you! Starting the routine is always the hardest, but you will feel so good soon. I always am a much happier person when I've worked out. Now if I can just get over the food...
