Exercise: None
So why no exercise? That's what I was going to do to show I was committed, right? Well, I took a tumble. Yesterday I took Jacob down to the neighbors to deliver a birthday party invitation. They have 2 young girls and an 8 week old. We were sitting outside in the back while the kids played and my neighbor had the infant in her arms. When the phone rang I offered to get it and I ran inside, grabbed the phone and the when I was coming out I fell down the cement steps. Ouch!! My arms hurt from landing on them, my calf hurts from hitting the steps (very special looking bruise/scrape) and I somehow injured the arch in my foot. So needless to say I didn't make it to the gym last night and I think I will also skip water aerobics tonight, just to give things some time to heal.
Day 3 of the books says - Do it anyway! Basically, when your head gets in the way, remember that you are committed and do what you need to do regardless if you feel like it or not! When you wake up in the morning, you drag yourself in the shower because that's what needs to be done, and not because you feel like taking a shower, what you feel like is going back to bed, but you don't, you shower. And if on one day you don't shower, that doesn't mean you go on a no shower bender - you just shower the next day. That's the way eating OP and exercising needs to be. Do it anyway!
So on Friday, when things have had a chance to heal, I will hobble into the gym. Not because I want to, but because I need to and 2 days is enough healing time and we all know I could milk this for weeks!!! But I will do it anyway!!
I am an interupter. I just learned this about myself. I wonder why no one has ever told me? I find it so rude to be interrupted, so how is it that I do this? My mom had said earlier in the week that I was finishing her sentances. I blew it off, but then at work someone said "would you let me finish?" Hmmm, now that's 2 people. Then on the phone with mom, I caught myself doing it again, and then this morning at work, again!! OMG! I am an interupter. I don't know if I have always been this way or if it's new -but you can believe it's going to stop. I will not be an annoying person.
Bev - Steve was only 21 when we got married (Yes, a younger man!!), and we enjoyed our years with just us, but when we decided to try and have kids, we didn't have any luck. We tried for almost 4 years with nothing - then we finally went and saw a specialist. We didn't have to go through that much stuff, not like alot of people do. It ended up being some hormone that I was low on. Finally we were blessed with Jacob!!

I can totally understand the do it anyway message because things like exercise are not a habit for us and we need to embrace do it anyway so that we get into that habit. Things like taking a shower may not be something we really feel like doing but we do it because it is habit. Sorry to hear that you hurt your leg/foot. Couldn't you do your water class anyway? I wouldn't put that off if you can help it, I wouldn't think that would stress your injuries as much as going to the gym even then you could do some sitting down exercises. Don't give yourself an excuse not to exercise, if you are up and walking around at work and at home then you can go to the gym and do some kind of a modified workout that won't involve straining those injuries but don't blow it off altogether, do it anyway!
Happy Belated Anniversary wishes!! Good job on changing the restaurant because you knew it'd be a "safer" choice. I'm sure the meal was lovely and that the company was even better! ;)
Ouch, sorry about the assorted bumps and bruises and I'll certainly allow that as an excuse to miss a bit of exercise (but only a bit!!)
Sounds like that book has a lot of really good sound ideas and theories. I'm glad you're finding it so helpful.
Hey lady, quit interrupting people, will ya?! ;D Well, I can't say that I've ever experienced that particular annoyance from you myself, but considering that we can't really interrupt each other via the internet, I guess I'll just take their word for it. Kinda sucks when you realize you're doing something that you hate, huh? But knowledge is power, so at least now you can recognize when you're doing it and cut that crap out already!
Just do it anyway, I absolutely agree! Unfortunately, for folks like us, we can't get away with living this lifestyle half-heartedly. It has to be every single day, doing what we have to do to get the job done. It's a hard concept to fully embrace, actually equating diet and exercise to such mundane chores as walking the dog or brushing your teeth. But if you can embrace the concept, well, there'll be no stopping you! After your bumps and bruises have mended, that is. Poor thing!
So glad your fertility woes were easily rectified. I bet you can't even imagine what life was like pre-Jacob now, huh?
