In search of....

So... I need an exercise buddy. I've realized that I can't lose any more weight unless I exercise. I can't do it on my own. I'm a wimp to the EXTREME! I'm also a grump. Wow... I'm really making myself out to be a great exercise companion, huh? Anyway, I just finished reading Erin's blog and Keri's blog and they both have exercise buddies that they get up at 5:30 in the morning with to go exercise. I think they are psychotic. But, then again..... Erin,Janelle, and Keri are pretty freakin' hot. I'm going to assume it's because they actually exercise. I guess it's about time I looked in to that. Anyone wanna exercise with me???? (And yes, I do realize that 99% of you reading this blog don't even live in this state......)

I'm freakin hot, huh. Thanks! I'm not sure how close you live to others in your ward, but see if any of them want to do it. Or if you have some neighbors that you're friends with. You still can lose weight by eating right! Exercising just adds to the whole eating right thing.

I want to be your sweatin' buddy. Too bad we live like 1000 miles away from each-other. Good luck.

On second thought...maybe we should just move to Kentucky!

ya, I'm contemplating the same thing...I need to exercise...my rolls are fixing to roll away, if I ain't careful! Oh ya, I get up at 5:30 anyway to get ready to go to school...how about in our dreams? We can "sweat into the oldies'" together...but not w/ Richard Simmons...he's a bit freaky for me. hey, you're freaky...want me to call Richie for ya?

I know you live a little ways away, but, if you wanted to come out even once a week, they do Tae Bo at the church building off of the bypass 8:00 a.m. Mon-Wed-Fri. I have actually never been, but am contemplating it. I hear that you can even bring your kids and they play on one side of the gym, and you exercise on the other. So, it's just a thought! If you go, maybe you can motivate me to go too! LOL. :)

Perhaps if you move to Oregon until you loose your weight goal we could be exercise buddies...we even have a home gymn and I have lots of fun execise video's....alas we just live too far away. Good luck. Maybe try doing things at night if you aren't a morning person. Back when I used to work out...yeah I know no wise cracks...I did it in the evening because there was no way exercise was motivating me to get up early. It was a punishment to do it in the morning, but in the evening it was fun I could watch my favorite tv show while I was on the eliptical or whatever.

You're so funny Ollie...you totally crack me up! But thanks for the compliment. There are so many women that want to work out from the ward. Let it be known that you need a partner and I think you might be surprised how many people want someone but need someone like you to take the initiative. Good luck! I tell you, it stinks when the alarm goes off in the morning, but once you've done the workout, it's the best feeling.

Sorry, Ollie, my idea of exercise is usually walking around the mall, or pulling my child out of the playplace at McDonalds. Maybe when the weather is better I will walk more. I don't run. It would be like seeing a moose run...I hear it's pretty awkward.

You could not pay me to be your work out buddy! I know I would train all winter with you to run a 5k and then you would just bail on me....wait that already happened!
