So, all this began when my physical therapist wrote "Cori is a pleasant but not particularly fit 20 year old female" on the doctors notes (that I probably wasn't supposed to read... oops!). I spent most of the remaining day upset because I am "Not particularly fit"- something I already knew, but had never put into words. I just figured I was just squishy...

Wait, I guess it really began when my normal doctor told me that I really needed an exercise program to supplement my drugs so that when I had no more drugs, I would still be able to control my emotions.

Well, actually, it really began when I gained 20 pounds since graduating high school and no longer fit in any of my old clothes, even if I did the pants dance!

Anyhow, I have now started this frenzy of exercise (well, frenzy in the most vague use of the term) in order to fit into my old pants.

Since I have heard from many of you family members about the desire to be in shape, I thought maybe I could make something where we could all share our experiences. And, I find that if I have some healthy competition, it helps me get out there and do it. And since I can't seem to drag Mike out to exercise with me, he is not much competition (he does have me beat in the thumb muscle arena... lots of practice with game controllers). So I need to look elsewhere.

Anyhow, this morning I sat on my exercise ball and bounced up and down at my desk while typing it. And I am going to clean my room, that takes a lot of movement, right?

Let me know if you find anything useful on the topic of exercise and we can post it... I will do the same. Here we go....
