Well, as you probably have guessed from
our lack of blogging over the past few days, we've had a few minor
setbacks.
A few nights ago, Becky and I went out
to the Little League Baseball park again and started our 5 minute
warmup. Part way through, we noticed a man in the bleachers gesturing
for us to come over to him. Reluctantly, we did, and he scolded us
for using the Baseball park as part of our routine, and even
threatened to get the Park Ranger involved!
Park rangers are good for moving dangerous animals off the road, not for telling fat lesbians they can't run the bases.
Needless, to say, we haven't been back.
Needless, to say, we haven't been back.
In fact, we haven't even been running at
all since the incident as we cannot find a good area to run when it's dark out.
(Our neighborhood is a little shady for midnight workouts.) Not only
have we not been running for almost a week now, we've also made some
pretty poor eating choices.
Oops.
If you have any suggestions on where to go running during the late hours without having to buy a gym membership, or what to do when you're surrounded by deliciously awful food, please leave us a comment below. Thank you!

If you have stairs, you can go up and down them. If you can use them to get to the laundry room, you can take a basket with you (lifting weights?) If you don't have any stairs, you can pace around the house until you guys think of a way to make lots of money so you don't have to pace around your home to get exercise.
ReplyDeleteAnd you can do jumping jacks. This makes me pee, but you both may be much better at keeping things where they belong while you're jumping.
You can do pushups. With one hand. Like a boss. (Orget on your knees and do the girly ones. That's okay, too.) Or a drunk baby looking push-up: Stand facing the wall and push yourself continuously away. This does things to the arms. I read it on the Internet, so I know it's true.
Various other random stuff, like leg lifts, lunges, squats (and the lazier squat... sit in a chair and keep standing up.), donkey kicks... and anything else that targets the bum and the thighs. That's all I've ever done. But I haven't made it five minutes yet.
Crunches. For the tummy. But they are unpleasant. Can you hold each others' feet and say kind words of affirmation?
Jogging in place. Maybe set the microwave timer.
Use household stuffs as free weights. A gallon of milk, laundry detergent, etc.
Dancing. If you do this in front of each other, it may test how much you trust the other to love you unconditionally.
