I can't seem to get myself back into the habit of working out. I was really good at it for a few weeks in there, but then I just sort of...stopped. Now, it's hard to get back into it.
Tonight, I took Cosmo the WonderDog (who, by the way, has lost about .8 pounds in the last 5 weeks! That's kinda huge for a dog - we're proud of him!) for a walk. It was roughly a mile or so. Forgot to turn my Runkeeper on. Whoops. Anyway. We went for a walk tonight, and I was feeling pretty awesome, so I decided to keep the momentum going. I thought "hey. Let's try that new balance ball workout we got."
Ummmmmmm. Yeah. I suck at the balance ball. Hard.
I don't appear to have the skills at this point in my life to balance on the ball while pulling around on a giant rubberband. I mean, I run into walls when I walk. In tennies. Sober. I guess that *kind of* explains why it's a little diffiult to balance on a ball that's supposed to hold my weight (but, frankly, I find that difficult to trust- based on the fact that it's a rubber ball and I'm a big lady...) while I do exercise moves.
As I sit here typing this, though, I notice that my legs are feeling fatigue-y. Hmmm. It's definitely the 'ol inner thigh area. My legs feel like a set of stems that have done more than just walk the dog. And my shoulders are sore in a good way too. Arms are nice and solid. I like it. So maybe, despite my total inability to actually balance on the ball, I've done some work. I DOUBLE like that.
Here's to getting back into the groove and keeping it going.
You can totally get back into it!! And trust the balance ball...it actually doesn't hurt to fall off of it because it's a nice, slow roll down :) And it's surprising to actually get a work-out even when you feel like you're doing it wrong :)
