Being Lazy Is Hard

This past weekend was a good weekend. The weather was fantastic. Of course, the first few days of this kind of comfortable, sunny weather after a winter of snow, ice, and wind is always a great site to see. On Saturday, I kicked the soccer balls around with the kids outside (until one huge kick gave way to pain in my thigh, lol). On Sunday, we spent a couple hours at the horse stables watching my oldest have a lesson after her horse club meeting (they learned to braid manes). I kept crouching underneath the arena fence going in and out instead of using the gate. Again, pain through the thighs. Are you seeing a pattern here? I think I am out of shape!

Spring seems to make people think more about getting into shape, firming up some muscles and maybe dropping a few pounds. I should do all three but willpower is always an issue for me. I don't plan on getting into any bikinis this summer (I've had four kids; I think the days of bikinis are behind me) but it'd be nice to feel good in clothes this summer.

I'm not sure where some people find their willpower to keep going. I do it for a few days and then that's it. How do people do it?

I guess if I made it a point to run around kicking soccer balls everyday, it'd help. Maybe go for a walk with the baby after my other kids get on the bus. Being lazy certainly is difficult, lol. It would probably be easier if I spent a little time exercising and watching what I ate better rather than stewing over it instead. I think I waste more time thinking about it than it would to do it!
