I collect exercise DVD's.....Resolution#4

Everybody collects something. The Princess collects rocks, The Pirate collects Bakugans, The Pea collects binkies (behind her crib I might add), and The Hubster collects BYU football games (on the DVR). So. I collect DVD's of firm bodied, overly-perky women in spandex who enthusiastically urge me to join them as they hop around and never once sound breathless or break a sweat.

There was a study I read a couple of years ago that said people's metabolisms actually sped up while sitting on the couch and WATCHING an exercise routine on TV. That's my kind of workout! However, the ever increasing size of my gluteus maximus (did I spell that right?) has led me to believe that simply collecting these DVD's  is no longer beneficial in and of itself. I think I might actually need to start hopping around with those perky little chicks. *groan* Now, finding time and energy to do this is another story. Do I find myself sucked into that spandex clad world or do I simply get on the treadmill or elliptical? I even have Wii Fit and EAS(?) Active. Do you know how hard it is to work out on one of those boards when your toddler keeps trying to join you? Not to mention, a lot of those games really don't seem to do much in the way of whittling down my figure. But, it is better than sitting on the couch.... Anyway, the point is, I need to do something! I need to accept that I will never have my 20 year old body back and make this body (that has birthed 3-10lbs. babies and consequently has more stretched out skin on my belly than any one woman should-I know the visual is stunning) the best that it can be. Now I just have to figure out the when and how of it and make sure to have the phone nearby so that I can call 911 while having an overly-perky, spandex clad heart attack. On second thought, I better not wear spandex. It might scare the EMTs.

Resolution#4- Exercise at least 4 days a week.
