This one isn't as much of a delusion, as a hope. And a dread. I've been in shape before. I know it can be done, and I know that I can do it. The times when I've been in shape, I had little ones at home with me. Really, they aren't an excuse. But over the last year or so, I haven't been in shape. I've gone through phases of exercising, … [Read more...]
Ten Reasons I Like to Exercise at Home
I thought about titling this post: Ten Reasons I Prefer to Exercise at Home, but then realized that I've never really worked out in a gym, so I can't compare. I've had memberships a few times . . . 10. I've never been successful working out in a gym. I just don't go. 9. It's more difficult to say I don't have enough time when I don't have … [Read more...]

If you feel like life is passing you by, and you just want time to slow down . . . do this workout. I promise you that it will be the longest 20 minutes of your life. I did the whole thing, unlike a few weeks ago when I "tried to … [Read more...]
Ugh. Exercise.
Why oh why did I get on Twitter just now? I should have been cleaning the kitchen. I should have been making the icing for my son's birthday cake. I should have been doing anything other than checking Twitter. Why, you ask, am I being so dramatic? I did my normal Twitter check of the people I met at the Savvy Blogging … [Read more...]
