I Guess I Don’t Have To Like It

Filed under: Exercise | 07/31/2007 (6:36 pm) |

I worked out today. That makes three days in a row. Yay, me! I even did it without my son nagging me into it. Since he’s come down with a nasty case of poison ivy, the last thing he was interested in doing was joining me, which meant I could have skipped the workout.

But I didn’t.

Twenty minutes on the exercise bike. Twenty minutes with free weights. Twenty minutes of napping afterwards. What can I say, I’m a slug?

But I’m a slug who worked out for three days in a row. So there.

There was a time when I looked forward to a hard Saturday morning butt kicking workout with my trainer almost entirely for the joy of the post-workout nap.

Boy am I dense, I have been here a couple times (most recently on your coke and vitamins post) and didn’t realize you are also the Venomous One… I am not chubby I just play a chubby girl during all my pregnancies- who knows why I a baby who weighs 7lbs, can cause a weight gain of 70…? I can lose it every time with no dieting or torture, but these stretch marks aren’t going anywhere soon.-Michelle

Yes, indeed, I’m the Venomous One. Did you know that I am also “The Queen of Snark“?

Like you, I managed to put on 70 pounds for an 7 pound baby (ok, he was almost 9 pounds but still), and I took it off pretty quickly after that.

It’s only been in the last 3 years that I’ve regained over half of that weight, and while I do think being at the computer as much as I am hasn’t helped in the slightest (nor has my fondness for martinis and a good steak), hitting the big 40 took quite a toll on my metabolism, too.

Hence why I started this site: to either make peace with my inner (and outer) Chubby Mommy and/or to get back to where I know I feel and look my best. I’m just doing it publicly because, well, I can. ;)

Actually yes- I have been to the Queen of Snark, but it’s not my thing… I have an aversion to Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, that Lohan girl and most celebrities that are or were on drugs. I prefer my drug induced stars to actually have talent- like Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe, at least they used to try to hide their faults. It’s a very good blog you have there too and I suspect a lot of people eat it up… just not my thing. Well- I tried to do a trackback on blogger to your post Bite Me on EV and either failed miserably or didn’t make the time deadline… Thank goodness my other blogs do automatic trackbacks- it saves me from looking STooPID. Gotta run- Michelle

Kate,

Keep up the good work.

Do you have a treadmill?

Yay! Way to go on not skipping the workout.

Flap, no treadmill. Wish I did, though! I’ve got an exercise bike, a yoga ball and free weights.

Thanks, Annie!
