Hi Gina! Actually, I do. I try to work out 4-5 times a week. Usually, I go to a class at our localy gym, but sometimes I just walk my dog.

No, and I really need to get into the habit. I go through phases and I always feel better when I am in "exercise" phase.

I used to but then got out of the habit. I think once the summer heat is over I will be able to go out and walk more.

For the last 7 months - YES! Wow! It feels good to say that after too many years of being too sedantary.

Eight days a week, baby! Actually, I've been doing it all my life so I feel much worse when I'm not exercising. It's as much a part of my daily life as brushing ze teeth.

Well, I walk the dog every day, but that's not much sometimes, because I can find some good excuses for mighty short walks.

We walked and swam a LOT in Hawaii, and I was sure I would have lost a few lbs, but you know what? Eating in restaurants every damn day is FATTENING. So I gained weight. Ugh.

SO. Starting Tuesday, I started getting up a bit earlier, and exercising 1/2 hour to a show on FitTV, then I take the dog for a long walk. Nice. This morning, I added a short (15 minute) yoga practice to my routine as well. That's partially for flexibility and strength, but mainly to help with stress and grief. The exercising all helps with those, actually.

I try to get in four or five days a week at the gym or running, but it is totally dependent on the kids' schedules now that they are too big for the jog stroller.

I'm desperately trying to get back into the habit. Two weeks ago, I managed 4 times. This past week, once. Hopefully I'll do better this week.

I used to walk 4 to 5 days a week. Now, I'm tired in the morning and too busy in the evenings. Hopefully after the wedding, I'll be back into the swing of things. I'll be in a better neighborhood to walk now :)

BAH. I used to belong to a gym, and I lifted weights and walked the treadmill three days a week. But one day I was sick of it, and that was that. Now I think my circulation has slowed down to a slow crawl.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure
