Today began my fourth week of consistant exercise. I'm relieved to find that there is yet a measure of discipline in me! Imagine what this may lead to! However, I'm not having the results I thought I would have. My complaint: I'm so tired. I started exercising to strengthen my body for the physical demands of my job (i.e. be able to lift 60 pound rolls of fabric without damaging my back) and also to give me more vitality (i.e. keep up with Aaron and not bore him with my desire to 'rest' and 'watch movies'). My back hasn't been cramping like it did before but I am definately more fatigued than usual. My approach to exercise has been very gentle. For the past three weeks, I have only pushed myself to run 2 miles three days of the week (plus minor strength training with planks, side crunches, leg lifts, and lunges). I'm giving my body until December to adjust. Should the fatigue continue at that point, I'll be giving my mortal a stern talking to.

YAY you have a blog! I'm so proud of you for working out. I kind of give up in the winter. I did run (less than) 3 miles yesterday... but unfortunately here it is cold (not to mention dark), which means I wimp out and run indoors on a treadmill. Which I found one should not do while watching the Cosby show. Because if you have to double over laughing while on a treadmill that is running steadily at 6 mph... well it's not good. When I come we will work out together!!! Or "rest" and "watch movies" together... :)
