I love tennis! My parents made me play when I was little and surprisingly I really enjoyed it. I haven't played in forever but there are tennis courts within walking distance of my house that I pass all the time and it makes me sad that everyone I asked to play with me makes fun of me :(

I canNOT wait to be able to work out again! I have an eliptical machine that is collecting dust and I want to cry everytime I look at it. Its begging me to sweat all over it! lol

Yesteray I walked around the block WHOOP-DI-DO I feel like my pelvic bones are going to break when I just walk to the bathroom. Supposedly its normal for some women... :\ I'm trying walking, sex, and spicy food to get this baby outta me already
 
I hear plungers work well ;)

/me ducks

Seriously though, it's great that you're itching to get back in shape again. So many women use the 'well, I just had a kid' excuse for years afterwards. I used to work in an office where one woman who claimed that she hadn't lost a pound of weight from any of her kids, and she ended up having three over ten years. She almost seemed proud of it. But then she basically lived off of lunchables and lean cuisines, so that says a lot right there.
 
shit i'd think taking care of a baby would be a ton of exercise, running around, lifting the kid up and down, taking it for walks, playing with the baby, etc...

today i ran 2 miles (on the beach!!!) rode my bike for about 2 miles, did some pushups, then drank a bunch of beer and undid all of that lol :)
 
I heard that Arnold Swartzenager would pound 2 beers before weight training back in the day-for the carbs lol

One of my favourite lines from American beauty
Lester Burnham: I figured you guys might be able to give me some pointers. I need to shape up. Fast.
Jim Olmeyer: Are you just looking to lose weight, or do you want increased strength and flexibility as well?
Lester Burnham: I want to look good naked!

I went for a surf yesterday, so my neck/shoulders/traps are pretty sore, and today I played indoor soccer for 45 minutes and then went to the gym afterwards and did some bicep/back work for about 20-30minutes (which is pretty short in my books.)
