Fitness Week

Top Twelve Reasons  I Avoid Exercise

1. Can’t find a sports bra. (Creates a hazard to one and all.)
2. Two showers a day is 1.5 more than I have time for. (Plus all the blow drying.)
3. My ankle/neck/gums hurt. (Pain is my body telling my head, Really? You’re trying to do a situp? Is that wise?)
4. Eating a box of Captain Crunch and or Apple Jacks until the roof of my mouth is shredded is a workout.
5. I don’t want to get intimidatingly buff. I want you to feel welcomed. Hello, I’m fluffy.
6. It’s winter. (I can’t go outside.)
7. It’s spring. (I gave it up for Lent.)
8. It’s summer. (Hot. Might die.)
9. It’s autumn. (Pil-whatees = hard, XL sweatshirt = easy)
10. Huffing and puffing when climbing the stairs with laundry in my jello arms is how I know I’m almost alive.
11. I don’t have workout clothes. I’ve got businessy clothes and pajamas. (yoga pants = nap)
12. My IPod is acting weird.

But this is wrong thinking so..

Top Four Reasons for Fitness Week

1. If I workout more they say I can eat more. I like eating more.
2. Studies show exercise helps battle depression. (I’m not depressed but I can get little blue in the dead of winter. You know the stockmarket, housing prices, and the junk drawer.)
3. The kids are getting bigger so I need more muscle to scare them into compliance.
4. Working on the computer or cleaning the junk drawer is NOT making time for myself. Working in exercise is. I’m on board w/Oprah on this one. (I need a ruling, is painting my nails “making time for myself?” It feels more like a chore.)
