So the decision was made.....

If you recall in my last post I had managed to convince each and every one of my 300 lbs, that exercise would be a good idea....ok...just an idea....so off I went to Mom and Baby Strollersculpt.

I had my baby, my stroller and my water.....along with some diapers, burp cloths, a rain coat/sun hat/extra socks, not too mention the cell phone, a baby sling and 3 bottles of sunscreen.....whaddya mean I have to bring weights and a mat!

Nervous and unimpressed, I plastered a smile on my face and we set off to warm up (at 300 lbs, getting out of the car was a warm up). This was an outdoor workout in the park with the sun shining and the waves washing against the shore....idyllic right???

To say I was unfit was a little bit of an understatement....I was dropping further and further behind - I was at the back of the pack and beyond...I was the speck on the horizon. Even with my 6ft long legs I simply couldn't keep up. I so desperately wanted to hear the mommy gossip I craved but the sound of my racing heart got in the way. Laughing along with the girls would have made things easier but I could only manage some laboured breathing.

Yeh I sucked....and it was my own fault.

But, it got better. Slowly but surely, my legs worked faster and my heart beat slower. The sweat poured down my purple cheeks and past a smile of accomplishment. I felt like I was being rolled over by a M.A.C truck and yet I went back for more.

So what’s the message here? To just keep going? Consistency is the key? Suck it up buttercup?
Yes, yes and yes....the words that still ring in my ears are: "if it were easy, everyone would do it"....or as I like to say "if it were easy, then everyone would be skinny".
