Wheezing

So yesterday I was working a wedding (*photography on the side, you see) and this funny thing happened.  Every time I had to walk up a few sets of stairs...or run to the car or my bag for something...or walk from one side of the resort to the other...or stand up/squat down/stand up, I found myself completely winded and wheezing.  And I totally know that people could hear me struggling to breathe in and out because I am pretty sure a couple of people looked at me to see if they needed to assist me in any sort of way. They just had that "ARE YOU OKAY!?" look on their face.   ...I wonder what my face looked like?

Now, see it's the time of year that I could TOTALLY blame my allergies and say that in my whiniest voice that "I am just "SO CONGESTED."

....but the fact is that my little fat body simply struggled with that much physical effort.
which makes me sad.

I always think I am in much better shape than I actually am.  I convince myself that at work I do plenty of walking and standing and moving around with the kids.  CONFESSION #902---I am sedentary.  On those little scales of "How much physical activity do you participate in? Rate 0-3.  Zero being "0-30 minutes a week of physical activity." I would be a zero.
...which makes me sad.

I know how to fix it. 
I know what is right.
I know who to blame.
I know where to go.
I know when to start.
I know why I need to.

Now let me take this allergy pill so I can get started :)
