Crunchies and Stretchies

Lately, my tummy has been getting rounder and rounder, and I have been moving slower and slower. So, Bearbearette is making me eat healthier and do bearbearcises. She's not allowing me to eat as many bearbear snacks, chocolates, or cookies as I want. Which makes me kind of sad. But sometimes I sneak 1 or 2 bearbear snacks a day. *sshhhh* don't tell her.

Some of my bearbearcises are harder for me to do. For example, I tried to do some crunchies. Even though I try my hardest to keep my back and neck lined up, it's just really hard for me because my back is naturally round. So often I end up rocking back and forth. Pearpear made fun of me, and said I looked like an upside-down turtle. :(

So I've been taking more baby steps, and doing little stretchies instead. Even that can be a big task sometimes; it's not easy to make my arms come out farther you know, although I can do a pretty good job touching my toes.

Even though it's hard, and sometimes it hurts, and I miss all the cookies and ice cream, I know that this is better for my round tummy in the end. Besides, Bearbearette and I made a deal: if I do 30 stretchies each day for 5 days, or if I can make it to 10 crunchies at one time, I can have myself a cookie, a scoop of ice cream, or a chocolate bar! So if I work really hard, I can reward myself, and become a healthier little bearbear! Yay!
