My apologies to those I might offend with a graphic description, but here goes...full disclosure. I haven't been exercising, at all, for the last four weeks. After years, literally, of walking 3 miles every weekday morning, I haven't walked at all - and I'm beginning to feel really miserable, both about my looks and how I really feel.
In fact, I have a pair of tights on tonight that I've worn all day, (warning: this is the graphic part), to go with my slimming, mostly black outfit, and I feel like I'm a sausage over-stuffed, ready to explode.
I cooked and served over one hundred all beef, Ball Park Franks for the kids in play practice last night. Watching those wieners plump when I boiled them, and then split, literally burst down the side, when I grabbed them from the water with my handy tongs...I couldn't help but think, that's where my body is heading. It is time to get back on the bandwagon - any bandwagon, except the present one!

Exactly how I felt, I finally got my workout tape going today. It was the first time in quite a while. Much better, now to add tomorrow to my workout regime.
ReplyDeleteOh boy - I know the feeling! I should have walked today but I found a million reasons not to. Let's all try to get moving tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteEllen, I couldn't help but laugh a little when I read this. I too feel like my clothes just are not fitting the same as they used to. It is also a little funny because your voice is so clear in your writing and I feel like I can hear you complaining out loud about the way you feel. It might just be me hearing my own complaints day after day though.
ReplyDeleteEvery step each day helps! I am right there with you on that journey!
ReplyDeleteStrong image. Hits a little too close to home.
ReplyDeleteWinter seems to entice us to be a bit more dormant. Spring is just around the corner. Hit that walking path, trail, or road ready to get back on your good bandwagon.
