I used to have a friend
named Courtney…
until this morning, when I attended her Boot Camp with other bikini hopefuls and I just have one thing to say:
I am out of shape.
When I was pregnant with Babycakes, I walked ALL the time to counteract all the pizza I consumed. Then I got really adventurous and started hitting the gym on campus. There’s nothing like a third-trimester-mama sweating it on the treadmill to make a junior economics major nervous. My favorite iPod tune: “She’s a brick house…” Though by that time, my dimensions were more like 36-48-46. But you can bet that I was “mighty, mighty lettin’ it all hang out.”
I worked out until 30 weeks because Julia Roberts only worked out until she was 30 weeks pregnant. If it’s good for Julia Roberts, it’s surely good enough for me. Then we went to Disney World and that’s a major workout in itself and then we went to the beach. Try walking on the sand without abs — that’s a killa’.
Basically, what I’m trying to say is that I haven’t REALLY worked out since July 2008 and if you haven’t looked at a calendar lately, it is 2010.
This morning, my body did things it hasn’t done in years. Lunges, squats, scary things with dumbbells… At one point, I couldn’t hear out of my left ear? Wonder what that was all about? So, yes, I used to have a friend named Courtney. I suppose if it’s all in the name of bikini season, then it’ll be worth it, right? Right?

Y’all have a great Friday.
I’m going to CRAWL up the stairs to take a shower.
p.s. Don’t forget about the Stonyfield Giveaway! Enter now!

So funny! I am in the same boat as you if it makes you feel any better!
Ahh, bikinis…I NEED to go to bootcamp. I ran a half marathon when I was six months pregnant and then pretty much stuck to walking after that. I’m trying to start running again, but I forgot how much I don’t like it. I don’t think I’d like boot camp, either.
I signed Peaches up for swimming lesson, starting in March, forgetting that I’d have to get in the water with her. Do you think I can wear sweatpants in the pool?!
Heidi — my legs are so white, I think I’d wear a wetsuit.
I hate running, too, but may consider it just so that I can survive my Friday morning workouts!!
ahahahaha! A wet suit, perfect idea! I forgot about white legs. Chunky white legs: beautiful. Maybe everyone will be paying attention to my baby’s rolls, they’ll forget about mine.
Just the thought of boot camp scares me!
Now I am all inspired- although mine would just be “shorts and t-shirt bootcamp” b/c there is NO WAY anyone (except Dave) would ever see me in a bikini!!!
