Toot, toot!

[ 22 ] 01/12/2009 |

Yes, that’s me. tooting my own horn.

I am so proud of myself.  I’m patting myself on the back right now.  Oh yes I am.

You know why?  Because I have exercised 7 days out of the last 9 days.

Can I get a little celebration party going on in here?!

Because let’s face it- WE ARE ALL BUSY- and making the commitment to exercise is a big one.  There have certainly been days when I haven’t felt like exercising, but once I start doing it, I am so glad that I did it.

As I write this post, I have my son who is begging for me to help him change his pull-up, the baby is on the floor fussing, Sophie is running around the house crazily, and we have friends who will be here in 30 minutes for a playdate.

Before they get here, I need to check out how to file for unemployment for my hubby (yippee…..NOT!), I have been on the phone with our insurance company this morning (oh fun!), have been scheduling all the dr appointments for the kids before our insurance runs out, canceling magazine subscriptions, made breakfast, got the kids dressed, nursed the baby twice, put him down for a nap once, talked to my husband three times, to my neighbor once, to Christy once (I did talk to you, Christy, didn’t I?) and on and on and on.  I went to bed at 2:30am and was woken at 6am (not by the baby but by the 5yr old).

The point of all of this?

No matter how crazy today, and every day, shapes up to be, I AM MAKING IT A PRIORITY TO EXERCISE.

There are a million other things that need to be done, but I have made the commitment to myself to EXERCISE.  And get fit. And healthy. And to feel GOOD and SEXY and HOT.

And so can you.  You can do it.  I can do it.  Let’s do it together.

Gotta run, the baby can’t be ignored anymore.  Adios!

This almost felt like a drive-by post, LMAO!!!!!!!

    Seven out of 9 days?! That’s so GREAT, Lisa. I’m so proud of you. I can’t seem to get 1 out of 1 day down yet. I think you’re inspiring me. Seriously inspiring me!!!

    Keep up the good work, sister!

    Wow! You are an inspiration. Today is one of my “mandatory” days of exercise. Trying not to psych myself out of it. Have so much to do (albeit not as much as you have done so far today!), but I will do it!

    Does this mean I have to start exercising now? Still so not motivated. I’m proud of YOU though.

    You definitely deserve to toot your own horn. Busy days like today make it hard to set aside time just for you, especially when you have to tend to the “to-do” list and the many needs of littles. Good for you for following through on your commitment to yourself….7 out of 9 days is nothing short of AWESOME!
