Unsuccessful excercise and oooo I want pair of these.....





I always mean to do it, really I do. I even used to belong to a gym out here. That I went to on occasion. Just ask the dh, he went on occasion too. Probably on more occasion than me but I did. I would probably go more often if I didn't have things like life and kid that got in the way but hey, that's just he way of it now isn't it? I did find that I was more likely to go to classes or the cardio cinema (dark room with machines and they played movies, loved that). Previously in my life there were a variety of things that I've found success with, in college when I lived in Maryland I liked spin classes and went nearly every day. I was in excellent shape. When I moved back to San Diego I found that the spin classes there sucked horribly, probably because most people just went outside to bike (fancy that!) and I can't bike irl to save my life, really, it's scary. When my dd was about 4 years old I found adult beginners ballet, which I was horrible at but enjoyed immensely. More than I ever thought possible, and I went about 3 times a week. I would love to continue with it but unfortunately in TX there are no good schools for it or at even practical times or places. Plus, wow, are dance classes expensive out here! Even for the kid. Like 3 times more expensive, and way less professional. I am very disappointed in what we have found. So then there's a variety of out doorsy stuff that I won't even bother going through. This is TX, don't waste my time 'k? 'K. I was sitting in a doctor's office and flipping through a magazine when I came across an little write up on a thing called Hoopnotica and it looked so fun I had to look up the website and make an order. And so I did. And I have a hoop and a DVD and so it has sat, looking cute and fun for what, 8 weeks now? The kid even has a hoop to match and she's hooped it up waaay more than I have. I should at least pop the DVD in the player and check out what it has on it even if I don't get up and do anything. Looser me it has yet to happen. I have received periodical emails from the company that taunt me to this day. The most recent one especially. This one features an absolutely lovely new product line, Melodia, they are now selling, God I hate them. It's made by a small company in San Diego, my home town, that caters mostly to belly dancers, something I have tried ever so very briefly in the past and had no talent whatsoever at. Now mind you, and this is really funny to me, I have a few friends that belly dance. They both make fun of me because both are a few sizes bigger than me, one told me that I'd be laughed out of her class for being a few sizes smaller than everyone in her class (I'm using the word 'few' loosely here). Oi, no love! And let me tell ya I was no good at all with belly dancing but I just loved the way it looked. I mean check out the outfit people! If the body comes with the clothing I'll give up whatever food, bad habit, what have you, buy the dvd, what ever, to get there, no really, I will, I'm totally sold.
So the moral of the story is...I should really look at the DVD shouldn't I? And 1 week post receiving the email have I? Nope, not yet. I have considered giving my neurologist a call and telling her to take all of these damn pills with the list of side affects (including weight gain, depression, anxiety, sleepiness, and depression, don't get me friggin started) and take them and shove them up her ass but since she doesn't answer my phone calls all it will probably do is up my anxiety level anyway so I don't bother. It's a wonder where I get the motivation to get up in the mornings some days....
