Remind me of the benefits of exercise...

Options
I KNOW I should exercise. But some days I think, well, if I can eat my exercise points, how about I just DON'T exercise and then I'll settle for eating less.

    Having extra calories is nice, but the real reward for me is how much tighter my body is getting. And for the long term how much healthier my heart will be!
    I find I enjoy exercise once I get started, even if I really really didn't want to do it

    Remember that muscle burns calories better than fat, and exercising builds muscle!

    Why I Want To Get In Shape
    My goal is to be in the "healthy weight" range before I conceive a child.

    My Inspirations
    •To be active with my family
    •To live a long, healthy life
    •To look great naked!

    ^^^^Thats what you put on your main page, exercise will get you there, not dieting alone. You also want your heart to be healthy so you can spend as much time as possible with the children you want to conceive.
