It sounds like you've already been doing that in your life otherwise: with Florida and photos. Now just work on it with your reading too. :) We're not putting the pressure on you, Kelly. Only you are...BUT I know how you feel sometimes as I can be the same way and even now while writing this, I'm thinking what I "should" read next. *Sigh*Bryan G.

I have so many books to read, which I know I am spoiled and happy I have, though sometimes I think I get anxious then and stop reading because I'm afraid I won't get to them. Silly me. Of course I will, I bought them because I want to read them. Your reading will pick up. Soon we will be able to get outside, walk, take pictures, and read outside!<br /><br />As for your hard-wood floor: do your exercises in your sneakers, or on a exercise mat. We have the same floors, and if your knees or ankles ache, listen to them! You are right to not push it.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09095246748581382752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-53472391613997683792014-04-03T19:19:49.330-03:002014-04-03T19:19:49.330-03:00Relax!!

Besides, with the winter we seem to still be having, getting outside when the weather is nice is perfectly understandable and necessary!

Less time on the computer and with books and tv, more time moving. More time improving things and trying new things. It might just be the boost from a bit more sunlight so we'll see how long it lasts. :) Enjoy your April!Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-35943400180803291702014-04-03T11:20:24.356-03:002014-04-03T11:20:24.356-03:00I've been in a reading glut, just the opposite...I've been in a reading glut, just the opposite of a slump.

Sometimes I read a ton and sometimes I don't read anything. I second the blogilates recommendation! I do her exercises almost every day and I've seen more results than I did after the 30 day shred. Plus she has so much variety I don't get bored. Good luck with your April reading!Katherine Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12126062556416434416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-6655626945577188112014-04-03T09:33:22.824-03:002014-04-03T09:33:22.824-03:00What was it about March?

Left overs from February perhaps? 10 minutes sounds good, especially with the treadmill afterwards. I think the readathon will help many of us this month!Charlie (The Worm Hole)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00675899182238415718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-21083363736454339882014-04-02T23:38:39.563-03:002014-04-02T23:38:39.563-03:00I am in a bit of a reading slump myself.

But still doing the audiobooks, so that helps.<br /><br />For the workout, I second the idea of an exercise mat. I also work out on carpet a lot, if you have a room that makes it possible and can just move your computer over.<br /><br />Also, I really like the website and YouTube channel blogilates. She has a lot of strength training stuff that you can do (though definitely would hurt on hardwood!)Aartihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02354873119188597611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-49699834339043020742014-04-02T23:12:19.941-03:002014-04-02T23:12:19.941-03:00March was weird for me too!

I'm hoping for a lot of reading time this weekend.

Would an exercise mat help? I think it's great to mix things up -- 10 minutes of a video and more on the treadmill is a wonderful combination!Joy Weese Moll (@joyweesemoll)http://www.joyweesemoll.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-11343852737732553702014-04-02T19:13:53.346-03:002014-04-02T19:13:53.346-03:00I've been thinking about going back to doing t...I've been thinking about going back to doing the shred too but we don't have a DVD player downstairs where I work out. I guess I should just grab one the next time that I'm at the store but I keep forgetting :) I hope that you have a wonderful month of reading in April. I have lots of books that I'm hoping to read as well this month but it is going to be super busy so we will see.samantha.1020https://www.blogger.com/profile/04124614710493747821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-13022853115356373312014-04-02T17:56:59.180-03:002014-04-02T17:56:59.180-03:00I've been trying to workout once a day, which ...I've been trying to workout once a day, which is WAY more than I'm used to.

Sometimes if an exercise bores me I'll jump around like that. As long as your heartrate is up, I don't see what it matters. I just bought a running stroller and am hoping to get out more...until it's too hot to take the babe outside in another month. Sigh! That's pretty much all that's new with me. Naptimes suck here so I haven't read much either--only for me in March. ;)<br /><br />Happy April!<br /><br />Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19926025.post-87383484913877424762014-04-02T17:12:04.753-03:002014-04-02T17:12:04.753-03:00I've been trying to incorporate more exercise ...I've been trying to incorporate more exercise into my daily routine, but there are days I only manage to get the stretching in.
