How do I get rid of the 10 pounds I gained living at the Mount? That's a good question.
My problem? I hate working out. I don't run, I don't particularly enjoy riding my bike (which is still in the garage at the Mount anyway), I love rollerblading but it's difficult to find a smooth surface, and I strongly dislike the gym. I pretty much just complain and wish I was in shape instead of doing something about it. Gets me far, this I know...
I decided today I need to get motivated to do little things that will help and eventually add up to be big things. I took advantage of the beautiful weather and walked about 6 miles at the peninsula this afternoon. Loved it. The ice cream I stopped to get after the fact probably negated every bit of good the walk did, though. And that's where I fall short. Somehow I need to figure out how to get the physical part and the food to work together. I'm thinking of taking up yoga soon, too.
Sisters, I loved celebrating all of your birthdays and feast days this past year with cake, brownies, ice cream and other sweets. My midsection, not so much. My doctor wasn't exactly thrilled either.
