I’m proud of myself this morning. I got up thirty minutes early and exercised today! Woot! 
In keeping with that theme…
Thirteen Reasons I Need to Exercise
1. My closet is now divided into three sections. Clothes that fit, clothes that almost fit, and clothes that fit 30 pounds ago. I need to fit into ALL of them. 
2. I feel better when I exercise. Corny but true.
3. I bought that stepper to exercise. I’d hate to have wasted the money.
4. There’s a full-on home gym upstairs. Um, what excuse could I possibly think up not to use it? 
5. My butt doesn’t look good. I need to work on firming that up.
6. Ugh. Eleven years after giving birth and I still have a baby pot belly. 
7. My knees are ugly. I need better looking legs to distract people.
8. I’m almost 40. 
I’m sure there’s a survey somewhere that says I HAVE to exercise.
9. I’m almost 40. I had to repeat that twice cause it’s so traumatic. 
10. Larissa does it, and she’s really thin.
11. It’ll give me more energy for other pursuits… hey! I was talking about writing, you dirty minded people.
12. I get to read while I exercise, and reading time has become a precious commodity.
13. It’s for me and only me. If I exercise I feel good about myself and that’s what counts.
LOL This is a reminder that I need to start exercising again. I’ve put on 10 pounds in the past year and all my clothes are tight. Good luck!

2 1/2 years after giving birth I still get taken for pregnant. How sad is that?
by Rene Lyons May 31st, 2007 at 12:57 pmI hear ya, Beth. I realized swimsuit season officially starts and I’m fat and white and…I believe I’ll comfort myself with a cupcake :) No, seriously, I know I feel worse when I don’t excercise either.

by beth May 31st, 2007 at 6:02 pmRene ~ Yeah what’s up with that belly stretch thing anyway?
Lorelei ~ Okay I know you’re white but you sure as hell aren’t fat! Geez louise, woman, you’re gorgeous!
Number 13 is the most important one. I really do have better things than to yell at girlfriends for exercising Just To Become Thin.
