I blame Lifetime

I used to work out with Denise Austin every day for years. I loved her combination of yoga, pilates, aerobics, and strength training. I loved her short segments that I could mix and match into my own personalized workout, thanks to TiVo. I even loved her little sayings and jokes that she would repeat every show as if she had just thought of them off the top of her head, like, "Let's make that gluteus maximus our gluteus minimus! Ha ha!" and "Squeeze that butt! If you don't, no one else will! Just Kidding!"

Since her shows on Lifetime were cancelled a few months ago, I have been neglecting my workouts. The gym at school is too far, if I'm not already on campus, and at home I've been too lazy to come up with a new routine.

I pulled out my fiddle the other day for the first time in years. I played a little concert for K, starting with "Devil Ate the Groundhog" and ending with a rousing rendition of "Old McDonald." I had to play on the lower three strings because while I was tuning up my E string, snap! Twang! Coincidentally, the exact same thing happened to a tendon in my heel a day or two later as I was chasing K down the stairs before his bath. So K has been in full-time daycare for the last few days while Mommy, yet again, recuperates.

I need to get back to my daily yoga. I've been injured way too much lately, and I know the main cause is my own laziness. Maybe I can replace Denise with a Wii Fit.
