I Work From Son Up To Son Down

May. 9, 2006

Let's Get In Shape!!!

I walked for 20 minutes on my treadmill before I wrote this post!!!

 

 

Alright, I can't take another day of thinking about working out, but not actually doing  it! I tell myself every night before I go to bed that I am going to get  up in the morning and work out, but do I? Noooooo... Why? I have a treadmill that I bought so I would stop having excuses.I am not happy with my figure. The final straw was when I saw a picture of myself at the ball field and thought I look heavier than I realized. I thought I could play the baby card, but the truth is I am just sitting down way too much. This computer is NOT my best workout buddy, if you know what I mean!

 

So enough is enough! I just got off my treadmill, and you know what it wasn't that hard, and of course I feel great. My problem is staying motivated everyday. Sticking to it is the challenge. So I have decided to make a deal with myself. Let's see how I do, but before I can get on the computer I have to do some form of exercise. Whether it be my treadmill, or cleaning the kitchen, leg lifts, walking around the house, just something. I am only accountable to myself right now, so that is the difficult part. So who would like to join me? Anyone? Everytime you post you have to share something that you did, exercise wise, before you sat down. Whatever it takes to make you feel like you put some extra effort in. Just share, and we shall see if we can't get our bodies toned up. I hope to hear from you, let me know if you are game by leaving it in the comments, and I will come visit your blog to see what you did and cheer you on!

 

 

 

 

 

 

"The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things; That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. (Titus 2:3-5)

May. 9, 2006 - Great Idea!!!

Posted by Anonymous
Well Trina...good for you and what a good idea. It is pretty easy to get addicted to the computer and find yourself sitting there for long periods of time. Well by the time you read and comment on everyones blog and then post your own blog...not to mention other personal stuff you do online (pay-bill ect.) You could be sitting at your computer for hours. I have actually been thinking about this lately too. Need to start talking better care of myself and eating better and being more active. I am going to take on your challange and join ya. Wish me luck...I can get pretty unmotivated.....

I would love to join the accoutability club on this one! My baby is now three so I really need to stop thinking of that as an excuse. Actually I have 70 pounds to lose and I would really rather get encouragement from other homeschooling mothers than at ediets! Expect to hear from me tomorrow! I will be praying for all who posted here too! Eva

Hi all! If you are interested in joining us on getting in shape, let us all know so we can come and support your blog. I will try to do something on my sidebar this week to let everyone know who is on this. If you would like the link with the picture at the top of my page,than here is the code:
<center><a href=http://homeschoolblogger.com/trinaleah/131885/><img src=http://i45.photobucket.com/albums/f60/livingnmymind/3ba0e151.jpg></a>

<a href="http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/trinaleah/131885/"> "Let's Get in Shape!" </a>

Enter exercise here</center>

If you are a Homeschoolblogger I put mine in my "General Settings" and then in my "Content Default For New Entries Box", it has a place to type in each day what you did for exercise. Then when you go to write a "NewEntry" it is automatically there, and you just type what you did for exercise before you write your post. It works great!
If you are a Blogger you can put this under Settings under Post Template Box. I thought it would be great for us all to have the same one so you can tell we are all in this together. Okay gals, Let's do this, Summer is coming!!! wwwoooohhhoooo!!

I also am on a quest to loose 20 pounds. It's so hard for me, since it's not my eating that is terrible, i have to sit all day on a phone for work 5 days a week, of course drive to the places i go, and often times it's too late to walk at the end of the day! I will be trying to figure out how to put your link on my blog too, but i am not too computer savvy, so give me a couple days, ok?
Your blog is great. Thanks for the challenge.

About Me

Ohhh...what 5 boys can get you into! Join me on my daily journey with my beloved sons, and on being the Godly wife and mother that I am trying to be! I was married at 17 to my first true love when he was 18. I know it sounds crazy, but we had both of our parents blessings. I had my first son at 18, well almost 19. I am 35, and will be married a whopping 18 years in June. I was homeschooled as a teenager in the 1980's, and I homeschool my boys as well. We live on 20 acres, and we allow the boys to roam and just be boys! Life is good and we are HAPPY!
