The problem with me, however, is that I'm one of those who is fully aware that I ought to be doing some exercise, but I just lack the crucial inward push. I know I have no excuse not to make a start and I actually did commit myself to a gym routine a few years back and held Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-42382453339281933842011-10-11T21:48:56.992-04:002011-10-11T21:48:56.992-04:00Words to live by for sure.

For me it has become a habit, if I don't exercise I feel that there's something missing, especially when I have a job sitting in an office all day. <br /><br />Enjoy your evening!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-12343108631992853552011-10-11T12:58:38.958-04:002011-10-11T12:58:38.958-04:00Kim- Thanks!

I wonder why we can find so many other things to do instead? I try to remember how good it feels - during and after - as a way to keep motivated. Saying I 'should' isn't much incentive.

We don´t have gyms here and my friend who used to push me to exercise stopped altogether, so I stopped as well. I needed to find something that I liked and that made me WANT to exercise. I think I found it in walking, because it makes me happy. I did aerobics for 10 years, two to three times a week and I Betty Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02357132033070346815noreply@blogger.com
