Gripes - Week Nine

Go right ahead and gripe! We all have the option to read them or not depending on how we feel. If gripes don't fill you with negative energy, sometimes it's nice to know how much the people around you are suffering, too. Yeah, it sounds bad, but you know it's true...... ;)

Although I have been biking, walking and kayaking, I hadn't jogged in just over a month... until today. And it was HORRIBLE because my ass jumped and jiggled like there were a couple bags of sand in there! I felt embarrassed, as if everyone was looking at my bouncing butt, even though I knew they weren't. After about twenty minutes my muscles tensed up and things felt better, but those first twenty sucked big time. Naturally, it only makes it tougher to get out and jog when that happens, and yet it happens because I don't get out and jog. Sigh. Just pisses me off and discourages me from doing the things I know I need to do.

I feel you there. I don't like hard core dancing, running or anything that will make me giggle. Instead I make excuses like "I can't dance" or "I'm to out of shape to run". I admire that you went out and did it despite your insecurities :) Hmm...I think I'm inspired enough to go out speed walking tomorrow. Hey...it's a start, right?

I tell myself that anything I do is better than sitting on the couch! I haven't really worked out in a while, and I feel really guilty about it. I think I'm going to look and see if there is an affordable gym in the area, or maybe just buy and elliptical. I like doing work out videos, but sometimes I just want to run, which I can't unless I'm on an elliptical. *sigh* we'll see.
