I have been enlightened by exercise.  My mom pointed out this amazing feature on our dvr.  It's called Exercise TV.  There's a bajillion different free exercises on there.  I set a goal to work out at least 10 minutes everyday and this has made it possible.  I don't get bored because I can do something new everyday.  My only downfall was most of them required hand weights.  Andrew has 8 pounders, but in my lack of any type of upper body strength, it wasn't going to happen.  So I found an alternative...water bottles!  They make great 1 poundish hand weights that someone who is as wimpy as I am can use.  And sadly, it's just the right resistance for me.  Maybe someday I can work up to a 3 pound hand weight.

What a great idea. I'm totally going to borrow it. I've been less than thrilled about working out lately, but I can handle 10 minutes.

Check out trainermomma.com it's a great website about healthy living and exercise. She's a mom so it's more applicable than all those healthy living blogs by single gals.
