    I am right there with ya. I saw a picture today of myself 5 years apart. YIKES! It isn't just the weight, I look old, and tired, and dull...as in not radiant. Time for some changes! I wish you the best!

    Thanks for the support ladies! Let's go for it! I'm sick & tired of being sick & tired!! It's time for change & change starts now!!! I'll post some of the mantras that I've found online & reworded the definitions a bit to apply them more towards my life. I'll post one per week & you can post your response to each on. Sound good?

    Week 1 Mantra:
    Exercise Because You Can

    What it means to me: There are many people that cannot walk, or even move. People who are bed-ridden or in wheelchairs. People that have become so out of shape that they cannot even walk up a flight of stairs. YOU can walk. You can exercise. You can do something healthy for your body!

    The rules: post the mantra & what it means to YOU personally. Then, you read it out loud to yourself every morning when you wake up & again before you go to bed.

    TracyHlucky! I totally used your mantra during my run today! I haven't ran in a few weeks due to a minor surgery that I had to have, but today was my first day back and I needed a little extra encouragement. So I used your idea and thought about how good it actually felt to be running, rather then the fact that I felt like dying! Lol!

    Isn't that the worst for trying to eat healthy!?! Like who wants to bring carrot sticks and water when you're camping? Im going camping this weekend too, very worried!
