I broke down and shelled out $3 for the Couch to 5 K app for my phone.
It takes me less than 1/2 a second to decide on buying a dozen mini cupcakes, but it took me about 6 months to finally justify spending 3 dollars on an exercise app.
I’ll succeed in finishing off the cupcakes, but I may fail at actually using the exercise app.
I know. Crazy town.
I quit soda in December thinking I’d instantly drop a few hundred pounds. Didn’t happen.
Apparently I have to actually get up and do more than walk to the toilet to equal actual exercise.
That’s just stupid.
Exercise is hard. And it’s hot outside. And I don’t like the hot. It makes sweat. And sweat is stupid.
It takes too many steps to turn on the Wii Fit Plus.
THAT is a sign of fucking lazy.
I’ve told you before that I take lazy to a whole other level. Now do you believe me?
But now I guess being fat is stupid. And that’s just dumb.

A workout buddy is essential. In my case, it has to be some one just as uncoordinated as I so we can be free to be our can’t stay on beat selves!
But I totally relate to it taking forever for me to justify spending ANY money on myself.
.-= Cranky Sarah´s most Awesome last blog ..Almost there =-.
i refuse to have a workout buddy. mainly because i’m really good at convincing people NOT to do things, so we’d never ever get to the workout.
I bought the app months ago and have NEVER used it. You and I could totally rule the LAZY house!
.-= AmazingGreis´s most Awesome last blog ..Bucket list… =-.
P.S. I gave up soda in January and I think I gained weight. I fell off the wagon while on vacation last month, but have totally given it up again.
.-= AmazingGreis´s most Awesome last blog ..Bucket list… =-.
this whole “no soda” thing is stupid. but you KNOW if i fell off the wagon, i’d gain another 10 pounds in a week.
LAdies I have that APP too !!!! We should make a lazy threesome. Typed as I sit drinking a coke zero. Hey, the “zero” counts for something, right?
.-= Kim´s most Awesome last blog ..Path lights …. =-.
“zero” rhymes with “hero.”
that says a lot.
I could’ve sworn you were writing about me. I bought the LoseIt app and I was good about entering stuff for like three days then I gave up because it’s a pain in the ass. Known what sucks more? My fat jeans are starting to get tighter!
I keep meaning to sign up for yoga again but I can’t find a place with a schedule that is convenient. I think this exercise thing is really way too inconvenient, but not as inconvenient as having to buy more fat clothes! If you guys are looking for another buddy to do this thing count me in!

my middle name should really be “sloth.”
Anything I can do to help motivate?
Maybe I’ll just forbid you to eat dessert? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA yeah right….forbid. HA!
Sweat is not stupid. Not showering after you get all sweaty is the stupid part.
.-= The Husband´s most Awesome last blog ..Early Father’s Day(s) =-.
sweat is stupid.
I know that App! A woman I work with lost like 40 pounds with that very App. Amazing.
yeah, that woman will be me if i ever get up off my ass.
I bought an app for my iTouch to help me keep track of calorie intake/calories burned. Opened it once to download my personal info – weight, height, age… totally depressed me. Haven’t used it since. Maybe it needs company and I’ll get exercise app too.
oh HAIL no. i’m not entering crap like that. i haven’t weighed myself in at least 4 years.
no, i’m not kidding.
I just bought a pair of Sketcher’s Shape Ups. If the aching muscles in my arse are any proof, they freakin’ work. Buy some, wear ‘em while you walk to the toilet, and maybe your arse muscles will ache, too.
.-= Colleen – Mommy Always Wins´s most Awesome last blog ..Small children are really just tiny insane people. =-.
hmmmmm will have to check them out. they’re just so big, and in the summer, i don’t like wearing sneakers cause of the heat. actually, i never wear sneakers.
If this is what you want to do then I think you should., But you are beautiful and freaking awesome just the way you are.
.-= Mandi Bone´s most Awesome last blog ..Evie’s First Week of School =-.
shut your lying face hole.
and thanks.
I thought about downloading that app… I never got that far.
I think I could try the Sketcher’s Shape Ups… but then I would have to put them on to walk around.
Sigh.
.-= Colleen – amadisonmom´s most Awesome last blog ..I’m gonna get you! =-.
*sigh* is right.
Alright, I downloaded it and I’m going to see if my mom can stay late so that I can get the first run out of the way tonight.
.-= Sandi´s most Awesome last blog ..a kid-free night! =-.
you’re a better woman than i.
goooooo!
Downloading the app is miles ahead of me. Also, walking to the toilet. You know you’re lazy when you evaluate whether you *really* have to go right now or not. And then do it over and over until you barely make it.

dude, I don’t even have a cell phone. Now who’s the stupid one?
.-= damaris´s most Awesome last blog ..Give us this day =-.
that’s nearly every day of my life.
DO IT!!! I know you can!!!
XOXOXOXOXOX

“It takes too many steps to turn on the Wii Fit Plus.”
A-freakin’-men! By the time I drag that thing out, change all the settings on the TV, and endure the annoying groan of the balance board as I step on it, I’m ready to give up. Who the hell thought THAT sound effect was motivational? I’d like to wring their scrawny neck.
.-= mumma boo´s most Awesome last blog ..Why Cameras Aren’t Allowed in Church =-.
Is running the stupidest sport, ever? Where are you going, and why do you have to get there so fast? Oh, in a circle? Totally makes sense!
You should know that the fingers that are typing this are fat, and that they are attached to fat hands, attached to fat arms, attached to fat me.
Still, running is stupid.
Running is silly. [unless attempting to board a public transportation device. Then it's useful.]
Dancing is WAY more fun. Almost the only way I get exercise.
Also? Club soda/seltzer water has bubbles with no calories. Win/win. ;p
I’m so sorry I missed this. What a shitty friend I must be.
Rest in Peace, Miss Edna.

And, I apparently don’t know where to leave a fucking comment.
.-= Mishi´s most Awesome last blog ..Another Win-Win Situation =-.
I did the same thing: agonized over whether to spend the $3, then finally broke down and did it. Since purchasing it, I’ve used it exactly 2 times. In two months. Oops. I am with you in the lazy ass department.
