Back to Exercising
I gave myself a challenge: exercise (and I mean really exercise, cooking dinner does not count even if you break a sweat) everyday for 2 weeks and see what happens. So I've been running, doing push ups and sit ups and doing Taebo (my exercise video of choice). Here's a summary of what has happened.
At the end of week one:
I felt better
Gained a POUND!
And was mad at all the stroller mamas who pass me while I'm running

Midweek two:
I'm exhausted
Still no weight gone
I hate any woman who wears spandex and looks good (as Anne Lamont says, it's an act of aggression!)

I'll get back on the scales on Saturday--not expecting miracles at this point.
Oh, and to you, the mama pushing the double stroller while running effortlessly by me, please, oh please, can you at least pretend to be a little out of breath?

At this point, I don't recommend exercising. You get sweaty, realize how out of shape you are and become VERY bitter. :) I'll let you know how the end of the experiment goes.
