Push has come to shove

I know exercise is essential and feel bad about flaking off, but I never really realized how much it was affecting my body. I mean, I don't consider myself in shape really. But now I know what out of shape is. I am the same weight and I was horrified to put my pants on last night and they are tight! I can't wear my blouses. I must have converted a lot of muscle to fat. I didn't even think I really had muscle, because when I think muscle, I think body builders. Now I really am serious. This is totally unacceptable. Plus I can't sleep anymore. I need that exercise to de-stress and be able to physically wind down at night. Guess I'm not going to get away with whining my way to fitness. Vicki
