Exercise...Who Me?

I finally went to the gym today. It has been almost at least a year and a half since I went there last, but after weighing myself these past few weeks and seeing the scale go NOWHERE now that I am done nursing (sorry for the overshare), I figured I should actually DO something about it. Plus, I decided that if I heard Mark complain one more time about us paying for my Snap membership without me using it, I was going to scream ("Do you know how much money we've wasted?" Yes, I do-that would be at least $300-sad, huh?). I talked to my parents who said they were more than willing to take Ethan for the extra hour, so after school I drove to Snap, trying my hardest to think of any reason at all not to go-it's beautiful outside, Mom has to work overnight tonight, so she should probably nap, I had a crappy day (DJ told me that I am a bad teacher, he doesn't like me or STFX, and can't wait to be done there-honey the feeling is mutual), anything. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized I needed to just suck it up and do it. I'm not going to lose weight by sitting on the couch, eating Doritos and a Diet Coke, watching "Dancing with the Stars" (wouldn't it be great if you could, though). It's not that I have a TON to lose, but 10 or so more pounds of "baby weight" plus just extra weight that I'm sick of looking at. And I just miss the energy and happiness exercise used to give me afterwards (during the workout I thought I was going to sweat to death). So I went and did about 45 minutes of cardio before deciding to go home. On my way out, though, I ran into this lady, Jodi, that I used to work with at Wal-Mart. Jodi used to be a rather big lady, but has lost almost 100 lb. with diet and exercise (some have said gastric bypass, but who knows? Maybe she's like Star Jones-in denial). Whatever she did worked tremendously and just added fuel to my fire. I can do this...now my only concern is whether I will do this!
