The Furthest Thing From My Mind
Warning: Do not read if you are squicked by icky adult conversation topics.
I'm very excited about my doctor's appointment coming up next Wednesday. Why am I excited? Because I get the thumbs up to exercise. Yes, that's right, to exercise. I am excited about getting to exercise again. I was ready to go a week after Dylan was born and I've been clawing at the walls to get out and get moving ever since.
However, when I mentioned how excited I was about my upcoming doctor's appointment to a friend, she replied (in a knowing tone) "Ahhh, riiiiiight... because this is the 'ok to have sex' appointment." Well, yeah, but sex isn't going to make my ass get any smaller... So when I laughed and said, "Yeah, but I was thinking that I get to exercise now," she replied, "Well, I guess that makes sense. I'm sure sex is the furthest thing from your mind right now."
Ok. Now, I realize that sleep deprivation can totally cause your libido to drop... but I don't think it's fair to say that sex is the furthest thing from my mind. There are plenty of things that are further from my mind than sex. So I decided to list some of them.
10 things that, on any given day, are further from my mind than sex
1. The quadratic equation
2. Newton's second law
3. The air speed velocity of an unladen swallow
4. Cobol (since I no longer am at work)
5. Taxes (since they're already paid)
6. The national deficit
7. Curling (as in the "sport")
8. The GNP of Sweeden
9. "Sex" (as in the So You Think You Can Dance contestant. Go ahead - google him.)
10. The Gettysburg Address
That being said, back to exercise. I'm joining (or thinking of joining, I still have to try it out) a StrollerFit class, where you go with your baby in a stroller and exercise. It seems cool. It's outside a few blocks from my house, so we can walk there and I don't have to worry about babysitting or anything else - Dylan will be right there with me. And it's geared towards new moms, so they're very conscious of the babies, and if the babies get fussy, then they walk with the strollers until they settle down, then they get back to exercising. I'm very excited. Also, eventually Darren will hook up the VCR in the bedroom so I can do pilates up there and maybe, if I can work it out schedule-wise, I can get back to running at some point. But the StrollerFit thing is an awesome idea.
