Time to Get Motivated: Fitness

     Happy Sunday! During the past week of my spring break, I've been pretty lazy for the most part. I've taken the dogs for a few walks and done some yoga, but for the most part I just sit around the house. Today I made a "Southern" dinner (see my previous post, "Craving the South") for me and my family and it was so good but so unhealthy. I made shrimp and grits (to die for), biscuits, fried okra, peach cobbler (heavenly) and sweet tea. I felt very Southern, but very fat. I'm certainly not a very active person and I'm not going to pretend to be such, but I do typically try to do some form of exercise three or four days a week. Since I've not been doing so much of that recently because of the musical and I have more time now, I've decided to come up with a schedule to keep me motivated. Maybe since it's on the Internet it'll be more of an incentive for me to keep going? I'll keep you updated on how I'm doing! My goal isn't to lose weight or inches, but to get fit! I also realize that it's irrational for me to expect myself to work out every weekday, but I'm going to do my best!
