Vice

Dearest husband,

Exercising is my vice.
in a good way of course.
It's addicting but at the same time it totally sucks. It's a nasty cycle.
I guess It's like hiking a mountain.
You start off totally pumped and ready to go. For the first mile or so your going strong and loving it. Then you kinda start to get cranky and tired and all in all eventually end up wanting to just stop and give up. But! you finish! And you feel tired and weak, but very pleased with yourself. And then a few weeks go by and you start to reminisce about the trip and you remember how fun it really was and how you want to do it again.
See where I'm going with this??
It's a cycle I battle everyday. I love the before/after feeling of the long runs and challenging strength training.
but I hate the process?
Maybe if I had a workout buddy :cough:YOU:cough: It would become more enjoyable.
eh eh?? yes? no? maybe?
I need a running buddy at least!

Love your wife

Shimmy

Dear husband,

The other day I had some time to kill before my work-out. So naturally i turned on the tube and found myself watching a cooking show {of course!} on the FitTv network. During a commercial break i saw a preview for a belly dancing exercise program called Shimmy. So I decided to tivo it and try later that evening.
Annnnd I'm in LOVE!
Not only is it a great ab, thigh, arm and butt toner but it's very sensual and sultry. Annnd I basically know my way around most of the dance move due to my Tahitian/hula dancing background.
So... this is a keeper. And I'm excited to connect with my exotic gypsy alter persona!

Love wife!

{p.s I'm excited to shimmy for you}

pass the salad.

Dear hubby

Getting into shape is tough work!
I've always been active but the excitement/stress of the fact that someone other than myself is going to see me in my birthday suite scares me!! I find myself pushing my limits to the point of perspiration- yes! to the point of sweat dripping down my face.
For those of you who don't know- I'm not a sweaty person. SO when I sweat- it means I'm working HARD!

I know however many muscles I gain (or don't) or how many lbs are lost (or not lost..), you'll end up loving the end results no matter what.

Love wife.
