The beautiful sunshine of the last two days has been an inspiration to me. I am inspired to shop. Yea, I get to get a whole new wardrobe this spring because I have nothing that fits. In most years, that is because I have outgrown my clothes. But this year is different, I have shrunk! Hurrah!
The Greatest Thrivers experience has been a good one for me. I have learned to exercise at least 4-5 times each week, watch what I eat and control my portions. So far since September I have only gained one week and that was .4 of a pound. So I am slowly taking off the excess weight.
I have lost weight numerous times in my life, but this is the first time that I have undergone weight training. I have learned that even though muscle weighs more - it sure looks better.
The winter has always been an extended time of depression and overeating for me. When the sun doesn't shine, neither do I. This winter while exercising at Health Ridge, I have made it through the bleak weather with less depression time because I have exercised.
Exercise is the key to success in my book. A routine exercise program has relieved my stress, increased my mobility and lifted depression.
I wish I could say I love it, but I don't. I only say that I know I MUST exercise. It's like flossing your teeth. Few people get up each day and say, "Wow, today I get to floss." The same is true with exercise. Although exercise is hard - it's well worth the effort!

ReplyDeleteBoy Sandy! I really needed to hear those words today. I'm having a really hard time staying on program and havin' kind of a crappy day today, in spite of the beautiful sunshine. UGH! So I need to suck it up, and just do it. ;) Thanks for the kick in the pants. ;)
