Exercise and Fitness

In the same boat here... I was trying to ride my bike every morning, but I found that I'd get up and look for excuses NOT to do it.

My husband and I just recently joined the gym too, to try to improve our health. I had to change my diet in 2002 and quit smoking in 2003 because I found out I had Diabetes. And... it's STILL hard sometimes.

For me, having a routine keeps me motivated. But I often need need stuff to keep me interested... like riding my bike every morning has gotten dull as shit, so joining the gym has gotten me interested in my fitness again.

And for me, having two young sons that need me for many years to come keeps me motivated. I know that they aren't going to get a 25 year old mother, but I can stay as young and as active as possible for them.

And, after I work out, I always feel great, so I try to remember that feeling when I'm sitting there thinking of reasons why I just can't. If I don't prioritize my health, no one will!
