Oops. I peed myself.

I peed myself while running on the treadmill yesterday. I’m not ashamed. It happens to the best of us mothers who didn’t do enough kegels during pregnancy. If you’re a long time reader, you know I like to talk about bodily functions. This may make me an abomination to my fellow Christian mom bloggers, but somebody’s gotta take on the task. None of you come here because you want to read about a perfect wife, christian, mother. What fun would that be? You’re not fooling anybody Mrs. I-Really-Do-Look-This-Good-Everytime-I-Cook.

Anyways, back to pee…

This usually happens to me during certain days of my cycle. Anyone else? I know I need to do more kegels, but I never remember to do them throughout the day.

I set out to find a solution.

Ladies, I give you  the Kegel Muscle Exerciser App for your smart phone!

kegel

I found this last night while browsing different apps. Cool, right?

Waiting at a red light? Kegel Muscle Exerciser.
Watching TV? Kegel Muscle Exerciser.
Stretching post workout? Kegel Muscle Exerciser.
Sitting in church? Kegel Muscle Exerciser.
(Okay, maybe don’t open the app during that last one.)

If you’re like me, it helps to have something telling me what to do in order to motivate me.
With this app, you can move from beginner to advanced as you get stronger. 

What has helped you remember to do your exercise, if at all? I hope this helps, because it really is an annoying problem and inhibits mothers everywhere from exercising and sneezing in public.

Here’s to not peeing while we run, jump, laugh, and can't make it to the bathroom quite in time.

This cracked me up. Kind of.
Try having 3 babies...the last one at 39. I pee myself pretty much as soon as I take a breath that's too quick. I kid.
But not.
PS - I'm doing kegels RIGHT.NOW

I coughed and wet my pants, all the way through to my chair last week at work. It makes me feel like less of a kegel failure just knowing it happens to someone else! Maybe I will try the app!

LOL! I've totally blogged about this, too. For me, it's usually when I sneeze, but today it has been happening with coughs, too. Ugh.

I use the app, "Kegal Camp," which I'm pretty fond of. It allows you to set a daily alarm.

Still, I don't heed that alarm often enough...
