So I started working out. Again. For the 50th time. I had big plans for when I could start working out again after Makadie was born. I got all geared up with a workout schedule and everything. 6 weeks after she was born came and went and I didn't do anything. I'm not exactly sure what happened. Probably had something to do with my desire for sleep overcoming my desire to be awake and exercising...
In the past, I've had people allude to the fact that because I am thin, that I must be in good shape or that I don't really need to work out. While it is true, that I am thin, it doesn't mean I am in shape and physically healthy. Just because I have a higher metabolism doesn't mean I don't have to eat right and exercise. Sometimes, I just kind of want to just wear a shirt that says this:
Either way, I started up again last Monday and have been going strong
everyday (except Sunday). I feel a little lame because I only do a 12
minute video and I still get sweaty and tired and all stiff and sore. I
know it will get better, but it's still a little disheartening when I
used to be in such good shape from being in dance for years.
But, as Dori says, "Just keep swimming!" :)

It was the same with me, sadly it's kind of true that everything changes once you hit 30. I am still not fat or anything close to, but I can't eat as much as I used to without it showing on the scale.
And even with my regular sport (I am riding) I have to exercise and look what and how much I eat. I am not that good in shape when it comes to endurance.
Even if you are thin its always good to keep your heart/cardio health in check. You will get to the point where you are doing 45 min and not feeling tired. I sadly have the opposite problem, I work out like crazy but look like I don't at all...hahaha.
