Exercise

Ok, so, exercise. I don't like it. You don't like it. Unless you're one of those people who gets perverse pleasure out of it (no offense if you are, I just don't get it. :/), you most likely avoid it like the plague, like me. But I know you're sitting there thinking, "But Lady D, how are you going to lose weight if you don't exercise?" well, dear reader, I don't "Exercise" is how.

There are a million excuses not to exercise, and I myself use many of them. Well, here's the deal, buddy. You can't use excuses when you're on your way to a better life. I try to get three "workouts" in a week. What do these consist of? A brisk 15-20 minute walk, or a more leisurely 1 mile walk. "But, Lady D! It's so hot and muggy out! How do you stand it?" Well, here's the thing. I'm 99.9% sure I mentioned on here that I'm the parent of a one and a half year old, right? Well, here's the thing about toddlers. They don't sleep in. My Little Miss is usually up about 7:30 every morning. Even on weekends. So, she and I wait for daddy to go to work (about 9:00, usually), and then we go for a walk. Even on days where it's going to be mid-upper 90's, you can get a decent walk in at 9:00-9:30 in the morning. You might be sweating buckets by the end of it like I was yesterday (it was super hot and muggy that early), but you'll at least get your walk in.

Now, I said that right now I'm only doing three walks. Well, when I'm post-op, I'm definitely going to have to up my walking game. But for now, that's just not happening. I'm fat. And my knee (I think I mentioned I injured my right knee in the Smokies a few years ago) hurts. These are not excuses. These are facts. So, post-op, as I lose weight, walking will be easier. So, what are you waiting for? Get up, get out, get moving! NO. EXCUSES! "Excuses don't burn calories."
