I'm a huge fan of fitness, I'm in awe every time I drive by the fitness center and see people diligently working out, or joggers out running, even those who go and walk. The problem is, it doesn't do me any good. Although I'm a fan, I don't do anything about my own fitness.
I decided to change my ways and give it a try. Don't go thinking I went crazy or anything and joined a gym. No of course not, and I haven't taken up running, nor have I gone for any walks lately. But I did purchase a Pilates DVD which allows me to workout in the comforts of my own home.
It's called, 10 Minute Solution, a workout program that will slim, sculpt and shape my body. Sounds good huh! Yep this my type of exercise. Each workout is only 10 minutes long, I can do 10 minutes.
I put on my leggings, insert the DVD and roll out the mat. I'm ready! Suzanne Bowen is the instructor, and I'm confident if I stick with this routine I'm going to look like her someday.
Here we go, we're starting with the lower body workout which requires me to lay on the mat, but by doing so, it makes me an easy target for the dogs. Archie, the blind Beagle sticks his nose in my ear probably thinking he's getting acquainted with another dog, sniff, sniff, umm whose this new dog in the house, sniff, sniff. I give him a shove and tell him to go away, but then he realizes I'm mom and he begins to lick my face.
Suzanne continues to count, "Four more, that's three, and two and the last one, good now bring in your legs and......Lick, lick. Ahhhh! I pause the DVD and give Archie something to chew on.
Ok, now where were we, I lay back on the mat, press play and I'm suppose to give my legs a stretch. "Now, take your band around the ball of your foot and......The next thing I know, Oskar my Miniature Schnauzer is sitting right by my head staring down at me. His whiskery face is just barely touching mine. In the process of trying to ignore him, I've lost count. Oskar paws my face, "Come on mom, your falling behind."
This is not working out, literally so once again I pause the DVD, put the dogs down stairs and continue on. What is only suppose to take ten minutes has now taken a half an hour.

That is totally why I don't exercise. It my girls that lick me though.... J/K.
Good job.....Someday I will add that to my life. Giving up sugar and exercise is to much at one time!!!
Saimi, if I looked like you, I wouldn't exercise. I'm not saying you shouldn't. I Just hate exercising. And if I had your body, I would find something else productive...like shopping! By the way you look great! And you inspire me to get off this computer and go work out.
Ha! I can just see it! You crack me up!
I feel for you. That's how it is with my children, but I count one sit up with a child on my stomach as two!
That's hilarious, you had me rolling with laughter! So much for ten minutes right?! The dogs must have thought it was play time when they saw you laying on the floor!
