So, you won’t believe what I just did.

Seriously, if you really know me, you’ll never guess.

Ready? Is the suspense killing you?

Here’s the deal:

I worked out.

Did you hear that? Yeah, I actually worked out! GO ME!

Neal’s been gently mentioning that I really should get in shape, for health reasons. I complain about my back hurting sometimes, and he knows that if I worked out and strengthened it, that wouldn’t happen. And he’s such a health freak, so being in shape is important to him and only wants me happy and healthy. Also, I should be in shape before I get knocked up, or it will really suck to lose the weight after I pop out a kid.

We bought an elliptical machine about 3 years ago or so, and I’ve barely used it. We mostly bought it for me. It’s a sore subject that my family brings up anytime they want to see Neal give me a death glare, haha.

When we moved in, Neal set up a little TV for me in the basement in front of the elliptical machine, and we have a DVD player down there. So today, I watched one episode of “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” while on the elliptical (Neal’s parents bought us seasons one and two on DVD for Christmas). That show makes me double over with laughter and I love it so much that the time flew and I was on the thing for 25 minutes! I know that’s not a really long time, but dude, baby steps, OK?

I also did a couple of exercises on my exercise ball.

I know this will last about a week or two and then I’ll go back to be my lazy-ass self, but oh well. A+ for effort!
