Kim I am definitely in the same boat as you. Up until about two weeks ago, I just kept active by painting and parking farther from work (you know, lame things). I took my son to his third martial arts lesson, and my bonier butt was getting sore from sitting on the benches, so I slid to the floor. The instructor took that as a signal that I was interested in joining in, and so now I am sucked into 2 hours twice a week--same class as my 7 year old. I have to be a good role model for him I guess . I have only been three times, but I am now running laps around the gym, doing a poor excuse of sit ups and actually able to do 10-15 pushups (not the girly kind). I can't quite fathom that I actually find this fun. Long story maybe a little shorter, a group setting and some peer (or primary schooler) pressure might work wonders. Also, I wonder if you aren't just experiencing a lot of fatigue. In spite of my new found muscle strength, and my supposedly lighter body, most days I literally have to pull myself up the stairs at work, I am soooooo tired all the time. I am going to bed an hour or two earlier every night, and still feel like having a nap when I get to work in the morning. Good luck with your quest. Lori
