It's fun to notice patterns, ripple effects of conversation from one blogger to another. I love the discussion it creates- there are some posts that are really thought provoking. Just in the past week I've read several posts on environmental issues in fashion - posts about appropriation of cultural garb - and posts about saving money.
What I haven't really see much of out there (at least not in the blogs I regularly read) are fashion bloggers blogging about health/exercise it's a touchy subject. I think it is a particularly tough topic for women because of prevailing issues with body image, especially when it comes to the fashion industry and body image.
I am not going to get into all that. But I do want to share about my exercise habits,
or current lack there of.Maya of Dutch Drift, has written about her workouts, and her love of Spin - Reading that really inspired me to take a look at my increasingly sedentary lifestyle.
My problem is time time time. I have to be at work at 8am, and I don't get home until 5.
Then by the time I get things out of the way (random tidying up, or errands, and making/eating dinner ) it's 8pm - I'm in bed by 10. Quelle horreur. No wonder I'm turning into jello. I really want to be strong and healthy.

Seriously though, how does one fit in a proper workout?
I am awful - I never workout. I feel like an hour workout would involve rearranging my whole week, from what clothes I could wear to the day I could wash my hair.
ReplyDeleteThe only time of my life when I felt fit was when I lived in Boston and walked everywhere. Now I just sit all day.
At least you walk two miles!!! That's so great, even if it is at a slow pace!
I wish you much luck with your new excessive regime, I wish I could get motivated to do the same.

Walking/riding your bike to work or for errands if it's feasible in your city helps a lot.
ReplyDeleteI think finding a class or group is the way to go. If can you commit to joining, then you just show up! I just joined a running group and it helps a ton. I don't think I would do it on my own. Good luck :)
Thanks ladies : )
