I decided that if I can't be pregnant then I am going to shift my focus to something that I can do.  I am going to do everything I can to lose weight.


There.  I said it.  It is out there and you all can feel free to hold me to it.  Maybe if I feel like everyone will know when I slack off, I will be less likely to make excuses.  Although, I have to admit, I have a pretty good plan.

I like walking and it is something that I can do even when I have PMS.  I can do it and not feel like I am stressing my body. During the TWW, when I have completely unjustified fears of messing up a possible pregnancy, walking is completely safe.  Plus, I have every intention of continuing walking during a pregnancy.
On Saturday I played around on Netflix and went looking for a TV show that I could get really into.  I found one.  I am not proud of it but after a very short time into the first episode I was hooked.  In fact, instead of doing 30 minutes on the treadmill, I did 60 just so I could watch the end of the episode.  I actually found myself looking forward to my exercise time today because I got to watch some adult TV (I use earbuds) in the middle of the day and see what happened next.  After doing 40 minutes today, I considered for a moment or two if doing 80 minutes of exercise a day would be unreasonable.  Alright, I know you are all asking in your heads what show I am watching... Gossip Girl.  Yes I am a grown woman who lives on a farm and couldn't be further away form this whole world but after two episodes I am emotionally invested.  Plus, if it helps me get skinny, it certainly can't hurt, right?  Don't judge me.

I have 85 episodes left.  Please let me know if you know of any other shows that I can watch online that will keep me entertained and looking forward to my afternoon exercise!  I am really planning a long term activity... well as long as Joey continues his afternoon naps!
