Out of Breath

I took a 20 minute 'fast for me' paced walk today during lunchtime.  The weather is gorgeous here, about 72 degrees and clear, blue skies.  In Houston, you have to take advantage of this NOW because come end of March to mid-April it starts to get really hot again.  And humid. So to enjoy exercising in Houston you have to start in winter :).  Certainly you can walk or run here in June or August, but blech...you won't be enjoying it.  As I don't enjoy exercising anyway, that just is not happening in my world.

2 minutes into my fast walk, I was out of breath.  Terrible.  Just terrible.  I was in such good shape, though overweight, while I was pregnant.  I was walking almost everyday that last 2 weeks (In July!!!  Trying to get that baby to engage in pelvis!)  I did yoga 2-3 times a week the last 20 weeks.  I felt amazing.  I felt sexy.  I felt womanly.  I felt powerful.

Now I feel sluggish.  I feel yucky.  I feel soft and gushy.  I feel out of control.

But I'm taking back the control.  

Time to bring sexy back.
