I just have a minute before I have to go to work, but I wanted to share a funny/sad story.
Yesterday while the corn was boiling for dinner I decided to take a few minutes and do some Wii Fit. I have been really, really bad about exercising lately and I can totally tell. When Austin was about 9 months old I started working out. I worked out 4-6 days per week for over four years. Then LAST October, over a year ago, it just stopped. I don't know what changed, or why I stopped, but I did. I have been very sporadic about exercising since then, working out maybe an average of once every two weeks, if that often. Lately my regular exercise is forcing myself to take the stairs at work. I work on the fourth floor, it is pretty dang hard!
So anyway, back to yesterday. I turned on Wii Fit and got out my balance board. I have gained 4 pounds since I last used it, not surprising, we were out of town this weekend and last time I used it was first thing in the morning, not late in the afternoon after I had lunch with my friends for the WoW group...
I work out for 9 minutes...yes, that is all. I did have to feed the kids and get to school. I did torso twists, jack knives, something else I can't remember, and lunges. Well, I thought the lunges were going to kill me. Seriously. It was terrible. TEN lunges per leg, that was it!?!?! To give me a little credit, I did get all the points and scored expert, but still!
It was so bad that I had to move the seat forward in the car because I could hardly lift my leg to push on the gas pedal.
I feel fine this morning, I was worried that I was going to need a wheel chair to wheel me down the hall in the hospital, but I seem to be fine.
The point of this post...I am going to start exercising more. Please feel free to ask me how it is going!

You look great! You should be glad that you can look so good without exercising!
It's been a day now.... So how's it going? Slim in 6 Baby! Slim in 6! I hate exercise. And I agree with Nichole. You look really good for not having exercised at all. I hate you now. :)
It is 24hours since I worked out...if you can even call it that...and I have been hobbling down the halls at work! My thighs are sore, not TERRIBLE, but pretty sore!
When I lived at Sheppard AFB, I had to exersize every day with drill sargents watching. I remember driving home afterwards, and thinking that I might get into an accident because my arms felt so weak. I was worried that I wouldn't have the streangth to turn the wheel. I feel your pain Jess.
I'm impressed!! I've been exercing 5 days a week for almost 2 months now and I am rarely sore... I think that means I am not working my bootie or anything else off!
