...I work out (yeah, you know you are singing!)

I have recently started to really work out. Just to make it clear, I despise working out, I mean I loathe working out. I would rather sit comfortably on my couch, snuggled up under a blanket reading a book, surfing the net or watching TV.  The past 6+ months I have made watching TV a lifeline; I immerse myself into a show and it is my daily escape from reality. For years I have claimed to have a little baby belly left. Considering my "mini man" just turned four I think that belly is a horse of another color. Call it what you will, couch belly, sofa belly, wine and cheese belly, it is jiggly belly all the same. A few months ago I had a very handy friend design, make and install a shelf for my computer that is directly in front of my treadmill.   It went unused for a while before I decided I wanted it moved to the other side of the gym, and now it not only holds my computer but it also serves as a reminder to pay close attention when entering the room as it has very sharp corners and is at head level and could be the need for a call to 9-1-1.   (Note to self, teach son how to call for help.)

I saw on Pinterest (yet another vice that not only gives me tons of ideas for crafty home projects, food, health/exercise routines but sucks time like a vampire sucks blood) that in order to lose unwanted baby belly you should exercise before you eat in the morning so you have to burn fat.  All this week I have been getting out of bed and getting my child and dogs situated with nourishment and then hit the treadmill.  Makes sense right? I will keep you posted.

  1. I love getting up in the morning and going for a run. Sometimes I'll eat a banana so I've got something in my stomach, but more often than not I lace up the sneakers and go. And I always feel lighter the rest of the day which is an added bonus. Keep up the good work!!
