Every spring as I begin to garden I realize how out of shape I am. It takes a few weeks before I’m not out of breath while doing the gardening routine. Every fall I notice how much weight I’ve lost over the summer. Only to have winter come, gain weight back.
In January we brought a treadmill. The first day on it, it took forever to walk just a half mile. Now I’m liking it. 3 times a day the treadmill and I are bonding with sweat. It’s continually challenge me to do more and move faster. I do feel better and glad we purchased it.
Since the treadmill and I have bonded I’ve put on over 5 pounds and I might just choke the next person that tells me that it’s all muscle or water, that muscle weighs more than fat. Yes, I’ve had my thyroid checked.
This is when pointers on how to work out better or more efficiently are given to me.
It wouldn’t be so difficult for me to take if it weren’t for the fact that years ago…back when there were periods in my life. I started a diet in January and by my birthday, March 4th, I had lost over 25 pounds with not much effort.
So it's either fat and fit or going back to a bit thinner and having lots of chocolate.
I'd love to eat a whole cheese cake on my birthday.

I've come to the conclusion that having a female body is a pain in the ass and there is no rhyme or reason to most of it! Good for you for sticking with an exercise routine, that's a great accomplishment in itself!
