    Daily Inspiration for March 22, 2011
    Katie Jay, MSW

    Exercise.

    Perhaps you would prefer not to exercise. It takes time, it's hard, and you don't like to sweat. But even though you can think of a thousand excuses why you do not want to (or think you can't) exercise, you know in the long run it will make you feel better.

    At first, exercise can feel like torture, but if you stay vigilant you will find you become stronger and have more energy. Exercise also relieves stress. Working out your tensions with sweat helps to unburden your soul. And you just might find yourself feeling more cheerful. Prioritize exercise like you prioritize brushing your teeth, drinking water, or taking your medicine. For long-term weight loss success and maintenance, it is as essential.

    Action for the day: In your journal, make a list of activities you like to do that involve moving your body. These activities do not have to be formal exercise. Pick one activity and do it today.

    thanks for this . It hit home . I know exercise is good for me but sometimes it is hard to make myself do it. I am going to write down all the exercise that I like. I might be surprised, it might be more then I think. LOL

    I dont want to blame my genes for not fitting into my jeans

    If we are not willing to settle for junkliving, we certainly shouldnt settle for junk food Sally Edwards

    the rewards for those who persevere far exceed the pain that precedes victory.......Karen Bliss Livingston

    there are no shortcuts to any place worth going....... Beverly Sills

    you are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream,,,,,C.S. Lewis

    no matter our age or condition there are still untapped possibilities within us and new beauty waiting to be born......Dr Dale Turner

    I hope these help to motivate and encourage you, if you like them there are alot more I can share. Everyone have a great day. My weigh in is tomorrow. I have done really well this week and have upped the exercise, so I am hoping for a loss

    There are many challenges out there and this is a different challenge it seems. Maybe there was confusion when the original leader started an individual thread, either way this is the right one. Like me I am in 2 challenges. Hope this helps.
