Pudgy Wudgy

This is what I have secretly nicknamed myself. This name has been racing through my mind all weekend because I am such a slacker!!! The guilt of not working out is unbearable and I can feel my body turn to mush. Someone help! Please! Someone motivate me. I'll motivate you if you motivate me. That is, if you want motivation. I know some of you have been working out and if you have turned into a slacker I am here for you.

I can feel my ass slowly molding into the shape of my chair at work. And the love handles are forming. And the jeans aren't fitting like I want them to fit. And this is what happens when you do nothing all day and eat junk food morning, noon and night. And I'm so sad.

So, this is the week that I work out. I have a goal of at least 3 days a week, which usually means that I don't do anymore than 3 days a week, but that is my goal. Three lousy days. I should be able to do this. But for some reason, I became comfortable. I was doing well and lost some weight and thought "I don't need to work out. I look fine. I'm at a good weight." And then a few weeks went by and I hadn't worked out. And now it has turned into months. Bossy the Cow is starting to ring in my head. Bossy the Cow. But, I'm not bossy so Pudgy Wudgy fits much better.

Since school has started I will need to cut back on the beer drinking anyway. At night, when kids are asleep, the time reserved for relaxing in the summertime turns into packing lunches, laying out clothes, and making sure the diaper bag is adequately supplied. Eating junk food will also be kept to a minimum as I usually try and keep us healthy but with the move and everything going on, there has been a lot of unhealthiness going on. Starting tomorrow. No more unhealthiness. Meals will be planned, snacks will be low fat and low calorie. No more rushing to the store for hotdogs and macaroni and cheese because we have nothing to eat.

Now, if I could only stick to the plan. Any takers on motivating me? If you guys stay healthy I could do something like send you a gold star. I know how tempting that sounds. Whose going to send me my star? I made up a little song, "Pudgy wudgy was a bear..." That's all I have. If you can finish the song I will also give you a gold star.
