Haiya…exercise..sure got exercise everyday…

I exercise my lungs everyday by shouting at my kids.
I exercise my hands by changing nappies, wiping bums and at the same time, guard against any surprise fountains.
I exercise my ass and thighs by picking up all their toys everyday…

Where got no exercise? Just different oni! No need gym! 24 hours (esp when our kids are sick!)… that’s our exercise!

Happy mother’s day!!!!!!!

Happy Mother’s Day to you too. On Mother’s Day, you should take a break from exercising. Hahaha.

exercise is definitely a pressure to me, as i am dying to wait for it to finish or more of seeing the result, hehe…

Somehow, I never see any results, so it becomes even more of a pressure. Hahaha.

I used to be very obsessed with exercise pre-pregnancy, exercise/jogged/swimmed 7 days a week. But those are all past tense.

Now, is super lazy. And the weight keep growing. Someone, please give me some motivation please!!

Swim 7 days a week. Thats really very good. I would be too lazy to do that. Too lazy to wash hair daily. LoL!

I actually love the whole idea of exercise, and I do love a good work out… but between the boys, and chores,and blogging I would be called crazy to go walking or jogging at 3am.

The other thing I feel is a good and safe exercise is to swim, but no pool near enough for me to go to when the boys are asleep in the day (also sometimes no car).

My next plan is to get a tread mill… but not sure where to put it and how to keep it safe from the boys, and vice-versa.

Chores, carrying the kids and playing with them don’t count. Just some sit-ups when I am not too tired after all the rough-housing. hahaha…

Since I can’t get out of the house to exercise, I exercise at home with some video tapes. Its cheaper than the gym too! Hahaha.

I AM obsessed with exercise too! Before my pregnancies, I would jog come rain or shine. I even jogged with the brolly when it rained. I cannot tell you how beneficial exercise is to your mind and body!

Jogged with the brolly! If it rains, I like to be curled up in bed with a book and some hot drink. Hahaha.

I love my exercise actually and if I dont do it for 2 days in a row, I constipate, I feel ill at ease and feel really lousy.

Guess it is due to my lov for outdoor activities as well….

Thats great Ann, I envy you.

As we age, NOT exercising is no longer as option. Our heart needs it, our bones need it, we need it to control high cholesterol, high sugar levels etc etc……basically we do it because we want to live long enough and be healthy to see our children grow up if not for any other reason dis wan alone shud motivate us to do it.
Hehe I act like so smart lidat akcerli i tok nia lar………..

All talk and no action. Go! Go! Go! Hahaha. So says another all talk and no action person.

I fall into the “I know exercise is important…but I’m not doing it for whatever excuse that comes in handy…” category.

sometimes, people say I don’t need it. the most common thing people say to me, “you are like skin and bone, you don’t need to burn extra fats, ‘cos I can’t see…”

pardon them, they didn’t know that you don’t need to look fat to have fats.

You need not be fat to exercise. Exercise is for health first and losing weight second.
