feeling groovy...
|
Its been a month since we got the elliptical trainer. Except for the period in the middle that I was sick, I've been using it for 20 minutes 3 days on and 1 day off. I've changed it up a bit and am now doing 2 days on 1 day off, cause that 3rd day was a killer. But overall I'm feeling incredible. I absolutely loath the whole exercise thing, but I appreciate the need for it. It also helps that GH has resurrected Robert Scorpio. It really gives me something to sink my mind into while i'm working up a sweat. I wanted to get healthier for myself and for Megan and Jack. And the walk from the garage to the shower is really one i've never felt before, the sense of accomplishment is wonderful. The when Megan and I started dancing to ABBA I didn't have to stop after one song.. .we just kept going, me holding her and both of us dancing and laughing. It felt wonderful. |
Good for you! I made that new year's resolution, for about 3 years in a row - not to necessarily lose weight, but to be healthier. I finally really committed to it in November and I feel like I'm on my way too. The difference is incredible isn't it? I used to watch the diet commercials that promised more energy and I didn't want more energy - the last thing I wanted to do was more activity - I wanted to sleep! But now that the energy is there, it's awesome. Yay for you & your family. :)

She started with just 10 minutes a day until that was easy, then added just 5 minutes until that was easy. I swear she's down to a size 12 now and you can just see the health and pride glow out of her face.
Point being, keep going! It's like voting, every little bit counts.
