I’ve never been a runner.  I always hated running except for a short stint my senior year in high school when my then-boyfriend and I joined the track team together.  Running with track was amazing.  Picture this:  Spring time in Alaska, a dewy mist hanging low over the tall evergreen-ridden mountains.  Jogging on a mountain trail; the smell of absolute pristine, unpolluted air inflating your lungs; the vision of deep green trees swaying along the backdrop of royal, craggy mountains; and the possibility of meeting up with wildlife you only see in National Geographic.  Doing it all with the person you love.

OH to run here again.

Now fast-foward 12 years to when you have gained 80lbs and your thighs jump 3 or 8 inches with every stride, you live in Southern Georgia where the stench of the papermill infiltrates your olfactory system like an unwanted guest, where the air is so heavy with humidity you might as well be breathing in a glass of water, where the simple act of walking outside creates a river of sweat and a frizzy crown of hair within seconds, where you can suffer heat stroke in mere seconds from just standing in the hot, dense, polluted air.  Add to that a husband whose only running happens when he is sprinting to the bedroom after you tell him you might be in the mood, and you’ve got someone who has absolutely no motivation to do anything outdoors, let alone run.

I need some motivation.  I need people who want to do the same thing as me.  I need someone pumping me up, maybe smacking me on the butt and encouraging me to step it up a notch.

I’ve been doing things indoors and I LOVE my Physique 57 but it’s not the same as cardio.  After a nice visit with my doctor this week, discovering that I have actually gained 11lbs since Grady was born, we talked about what I need to change to start seeing some results.  My food journal looks good (minus the past week where I was on vacation and gorged myself on fried food and a semi-truck full of sugar).  I’m doing isometrics but I’m just not losing any weight!  Cardio, Summer!  Cardio.  AND strength training.  But cardio.  I wanted to shrivel up and die when she said that I wasn’t doing ENOUGH working out.  Like seriously?  Who has time for that?  She told me to get outdoors.  I looked at her like she had snakes growing from her head.  OUTSIDE?!??  Yeah RIGHT!  I asked her if she had BEEN outside to which she replied, “You’ll just have to go in the early morning or at night.”  Which would be perfectly fine for someone who had a husband who worked a good ole’ 9-5′er.  OK so maybe I’m making an excuse or two but in all seriousness, my kids  I would die from heat stroke due a combination of this fat-sausage I’ve become and the killer, swampy, stinky, humid Georgia heat.

So what CAN I do inside?  I recently cancelled my YMCA membership due to cutting back on our finances.  I bought an elliptical that had a 14″ stride and was more like a stair-stepper than an elliptical so I sold it.  The ONLY video I’ve ever been inspired by is Physique 57 and it’s not “cardiovascular enough” (although I am going to continue to do it because it is an intense workout and I love how it makes me feel).  So I’ve been thinking of my options.  Perhaps I’ll buy a Wii Fit to get my heart pumping.  Does anyone have any experience with them or any available programs?  It sounds like a good idea, and maybe one that Styles would be interested in doing with me.  Maybe I need to get a bike, a bike trailer, AND an infant bike seat so that I can get some cardio yet still have my kids.  That would kind of solve the whole “nobody to watch them” problem.  Do you think Styles would fit into the trailer?  He can’t ride a bike yet so I’d need some way to bring him along as well.

The whole thing is just so frustrating but I’m ready to do SOMETHING.  Despite the fact that I’ve never really enjoyed running, I have this fire in my chest to get outside and run.  I’d like to try the Couch to 5K program but I just cannot do it in this heat.  As soon as it gets below 80 degrees, I’ll start.  I promise (hold me to it, OK?).  But for now, I need to find another option.  Although maybe, just maybe, I’ll be able to convince Kyle that an elliptical cross trainer with a larger stride would be a valuable investment.

What do you do to stay fit when it’s broiling hot outside?

  1. I’ve always wanted to try doing a couch to 5k, but I’m kinda lazy when it comes to exercise.

  2. I went to your old blog “Rebel Crunch Mama.” and find it so interesting so I follow you here. I just proved it right. From now on, consider me as your best blog reader. I love to read and I think reading is actually my life. Kudos to you!

  3. We have a Wii Fit. I haven’t touched it since having the twins, I should totally dig it out. I wonder what box it ended up in when we moved… LOL

  4. I can’t do most of the exercises on the wii fit because of the wheelchair (can’t really get that sucker on the motion board lol) but I usually play Just Dance for cardio. The way I look at it, it’s better than nothing!

  5. We use our wii fit too– and have the nickelodeon kids fit game for my 4 year old.. not necessarily high cardio for her, btu it’s still fun!

  6. I love the wii fit! I actually lost all my pregnancy weight doing it!

    • LUCKY! I lost all of my Grady baby weight (even with what I’ve gained back since he was born) but I never did lose my Madilyn weight so that’s what I need to get off now. Do you still do the wii fit? Does it have cardio options?

  7. Get the Wii Fit Plus! If you use it, it totally works – not to mention it’s fun, and the kids will love it too. I haven’t been using mine lately, but the few times I have, I am *always* sore the next day like I went to the gym. Totally worth the money.

    ~Kayla

    • Thanks, Kayla! My Physique 57 system is awesome too. I’m usually so sore I can hardly walk :) I know that my eldest would like the Wii Fit too, though. I should just bite the bullet and get it!

  8. My 3 year old loves the Wii Fit. I used it a lot when I was trying to lose weight after having him. I also liked the My Fitness Trainer for the Wii. Great cardio workout and I only needed to buy a couple of things (a step- the balance board doesn’t work with it) some light hand weights, and a heart monitor. I also started the couch to 5K thing a few months before finding out I was pregnant with my #2. Both great!

  9. I definitely need to use this after the baby comes! I love our Wii Fit!

  10. I have a confession … I’ve never used a Wii. I know. I know. I need to rectify.

    The other day D and I went to a local middle school track and I walk/jogged a mile. And then felt like I was going to die. I am NOT a runner/jogger but I tried!!

  11. I love Wii fit. SO MUCH FUN. I want one for myself – I just always used my parent’s before, but now we don’t live 2 minutes away… :(

  12. Jogging is totally a fast way to get quick results and you CAN do it! Fat as I’d ever been, I started jogging for a minute/walk a minute. Like the C25K program but I just did my own thing. If you could squeeze out first thing in the morning for even 20 min it’ll totally change you. And in your abundance of spare time, read Mile Markers by Kristin Armstrong. You’ll LOVE her & it totally inspires you to get out and run!

    • Thanks, Mere! I don’t know HOW you run. I just don’t know how you did it or how you started or how you found the motivation! I WANT to do it but I guess I’m afraid. I have to start somewhere, though, right? Why do I care so much if people see me running? I just do. *UGH* GET OVER IT, SUMMER!
