For the last several years I've been trying to make myself get back into shape. As I frequently have to explain to people, just because I'm skinny does not mean I'm in shape! These attempts have been half-hearted at best. Even when I was preparing for my wedding I struggled to try to make myself work out. When I'm in shape I actually enjoy running and whatnot. However, it's brutal getting to that point. I love the idea of running a marathon some day, I just cannot seem to make myself run. I'm just so exhausted by the time I get home everyday that all I want to do is veg out on the couch. But not anymore! I'm taking a stand. Starting now I'm turning over a new leaf.
I've realized that I really have to take it slowly. If I do too much too quickly I just end up with my screwed up back killing me! So I've started slow. I have started doing crunches again, just 100 a day for now (I used to do at least 500 a day). And Curtis and I are going to get active. We have decided that we're going to play basketball or tennis at least every other day. I know it isn't much, but I have to start somewhere. I've never been great at tennis, but I discovered today that since I last played several years ago, I'm now truly awful! It's ok though because it's fun. I know that this isn't a huge amount of working out, but at least it's something. And I figure that since I've written this down, I'm committed now!
