I never have been one to exercise on a regular basis... I did a little as a teen and in college but life would get in the way and I wouldn't "make" time to do it so I would always fall off the horse (figuratively speaking).
Well, people are right, it does feel good! Why is it that I dreaded it so much? It helps my whole day go smoother! That and suddenly I have all this energy.
For instance, after a day full of moving furniture all around the house to make room for Gavin to have his own room downstairs, Jer and I took the kids to Wal-Mart (aka Voldemort) to get a couple of last minute things. What we wanted was out so out the door we went with our 2 carts and 3 kids (boys in one girls in the other)... before I knew it Jer and I were racing carts, running full speed to the truck. The kids thought it was a blast and I actually wasn't winded afterwords.
The whole racing thing doesn't happen very often because I used to find that even after a short run I was so winded I would cough and cough especially if the air outside was cold. NOT LAST NIGHT THOUGH! Hooray! I thought it was fun... even afterwords when I usually would have been huffing and puffing like the big bad wolf! Yay for exercise and not feeling like a slightly deflated basketball that someone is trying to bounce but that they have to throw extra hard just to get it to do what it is supposed to do with no problem.
Now I'm starting to feel like the perky cheerleader on speed.... YIPPEE, GO US!

Your words inspire me:) I hope that this will be the year that I finally get off my lazy behind and start working out and eating healthy once again:)
I've decided that it has to be the right time to start things... I know that every other time I tried it was SOOO hard and I would always let it peter out. This time it feels right and like it's going to work :)
