ouch ouch my aching legs

So in the never ending battle to be healthy and not want to vomit when i look in the mirror i have started to work out. It started a few months ago when I ran my first 5K. yeah i know it is insane I ran a 5K. Well lets be honest I ran, walked, got pissed at myself, ran some more, prayed for a broken leg, then cussed out my hubby at the finish line. Yes i know it was a shining moment in my life. But lets just say having someone 3 times your size and 25 years older than you finish before you is enough of a wake up call.

So we started running a little bit at home. Well as any mom knows there is just not enough time in the day. I don't want to run alone in the dark in the morning and it is so hot in the evening when i get home plus there is dinner to cook and kids to wash and dishes to do.

That form of excising wasn't really working so we bought weights. after a week of serious working out 5 days a week all i can really say is ....

HOLY CRAP MY ACHIN LEGS, ARMS AND BUTT AND BY THE WAY I DID NOT EVEN KNOW THERE WAS A MUSCLE OVER THERE!!!

Yup that is how i feel. everything hurts. A good hurt i am sure but still pain. I have to say it is nice to work out with Chris and the kids get involved too. I am also watching my calories. this is an eye opening experience. I know it is a pain but seriously pick one day to eat normal but just count how many calories is in everything you put in your mouth.

For example I got a salad at Chilies. I mean a SALAD. Guess how many calories 1200 yea i know crazy. Now where the problem comes in is that as a good little dieter you have watched what you ate all day. Then while your husband eats some sizzling fajitas loaded with sour cream and cheese you picked a nice simple salad yea there is some cheese but come on all of those veggies easily off set that. So now you have not only blown the whole day because you ate all cals in one setting as you should have for the whole day but thinking about how wonderful and self sacrificing you have been you decide to order one of those tiny little shot glasses of desert.

now the next time you weigh yourself you will at the very least have not lost any weight and fall in to the depths of depression crawl to the freezer for a half gallon of Edy's ice cream thus the cycle begins again.

OK funny story but completely true at least for me but as Chris says i am a little dramatic and possibly have weight issues ( I know crazy right where does he get this stuff) but if you are interested there is a site called thedailyplate.com that has the calories for everything.
