Lintee Bean catches a train!

February 4, 2009 by Lynette

I’ve been disheartened by just how out-of-shape I am. I started exercising Sunday, and I chose my “easiest” exercise video. I used to dislike that one because it was “too easy”. It kicks my butt now. I did it on Sunday and Monday and thought I’d die.  

It doesn’t help that dear Rumpelmintz HATES for me to exercise.  I don’t know why, but she HATES it.  Perhaps it’s just because I’m not paying attention to her.  Sunday I started the video, and about half way through, Rumpelmintz bit the back of my head during floor exercises.  Ow!  I had to hold her for the rest of the video.  Monday night, she started to attack me – Kitty.com jumped to my defense, and they proceeded to fight on top of my head.  They stopped – then Rumpelmintz came up to bite my head – I fended her off, but got my arm bit.  She may need to go in “time out” when I exercise.

Exercising annoys me, as does most everything else.

Today I was walking to the el… I’ve been pushing myself to walk faster each day. As I got maybe a half block away, I saw the train arriving at the station! I started running and ran the rest of the way and down the stairs and I made it! I caught the train!

I know it seems insignificant, but I am SO proud of myself! I NEVER run. Not even if something really scary is chasing me. NEVER. Not only that, but in the past if I have tried to “run” to the train, I wouldn’t catch the train, I’d be huffing and puffing, and I was CERTAIN anyone in the area was looking at the odd woman trying to run, or is it jog, or is she just lumbering? What IS she doing? This time I actually felt like I LOOKED like I was running! I caught the train and I wasn’t even huffing or puffing or dripping sweat!

I’m just starting out on my new nutrition and exercise plan, but it’s these little signs of progress that make it SO worthwhile!
