The workout....sort of....

OK, so I didn't do too bad today. I think I ate too much. Some sandwiches, some leftovers....kinda blew it today. I did get some exercise, though. For one, I cleaned house. That is a good way to burn some calories. In the average woman, one hour of cleaning burns about 500 I think. So, adjusting the margin for a woman of my size, I'd say I probably burned about 23. Yay. Isn't it great to be hefty? The average women who don't need to lose weight are burning off calories left and right. Meanwhile, if I so much as sniff a bran muffin I gain 5 pounds. Life is cruel. On the plus side(no pun intended), I discovered a new workout today. No more slow paced beginner crap for me! No, I found a more fast paced cardio/ab kind of thing. The fact that I am able to write this lets you know I survived, although not by much. Good lord. I was Ms. Motivation at the start....and Ms. Dear-hell-I-can't-breathe about 30 minutes later. Those DVDs need to be more honest. The beginning showed a motto: "Decide. Commit. Succeed." Made my chest swell with pride and intention. What it should have also said was, "Wheeze. Collapse. Vomit." That would have at least prepared me for what was to come. No matter! I am determined! Hopefully in a week I won't feel like hot death after the workout. I love to work out, but my body disagrees with me. We have a long battle ahead. Me against my fat and atrophied muscles. I may go down, but at least I'll go down swinging! Or hyperventilating. Or lapsing into a coma. Time will tell....
