Self Depreciation

I realize that I have a rather dim view of myself. I hate the way I look. I gained a bit of weight with Lilly and I just do not like the way I look. I am trying to lose the weight with exercise and watching what I eat. Yet, I always seem to fall off the wagon. I joined Stroller Strides. I love the workout (no I don't) and I love being outside with Lilly. But I am getting frustrated. I am one of the last people and I tend to hold the group up. I was all gun-ho about it until the fateful day of the HILL. That was the day I began to dread it. I was so tired and so sore that I wanted to die and hoped someone would find the baby before she was raised by wolves (these would be the same wolves who ate me as I lie on the side of the trail). Ok I am being a drama queen, but still, you get my point. I know that if I keep up with it I won't be the last person. I will be with all the in-shape moms at the front of the line. But until that happens I cannot help but feel this way.

You didn't think I'd find you here did you?? Kim!!! Come to class- you ARE NOT the last person in class & YOU DO NOT hold us up! The whole design of class is that we are a team!! Don't let the hill get you- I will warn you of it from now on but I wouldn't ever make you do something you can't. YOU CAN DO IT!!! I can't say it less cheesier than that...I look forward to seeing you 2 everyday & get bummed when you don't come! you aren't going to change things if you don't come...And every day you get out there with us & try- you are making a difference! We are all in the same boat- our challenges are just different..
