    " I don't 'find time for excercise'. I exercise, then I find time for everything else."

    I love that line !! Going to plaster it to my computer. Awesome journey you have made so far and still going onwards.

    Coming from a homeschooler of 4, that's how it must be done if it's going to happen. It's an investment. We're better in all areas when we take care of ourselves.

    Love this! Also love how none of this has to do with weight loss....even though I know you've succeeded there as well. Sometimes the other things mean just as much if not more to us....

    Great story. Yeah it is difficult to motivate at times. I know there are some days I just don't want to work out but I just do it and within 15 minutes or so I forget my treadmill trepidation. Recently my doctor asked my why I decided to lose weight and exercise and I kind of just said the normal things like I was tired of the aches and pains, etc. etc. So he kept asking if there was anything else so I just bluntly stated that I just decide to get my head out of my *kitten* in regards to my health. He chortled a little and that was that, although I wasn't quite sure if he typed that into the computer.

    Amazing Steph! A beautiful story!
    Thank you for sharing, I feel inspired!
    I seem to have a no-excuses take on eating well, so I'm inspired by your no-excuses attitude on moving more. Congrats!

    After all you have been through, you are still making the time to help your health... That's amazing and inspiring. And humbling.

    Congratulations. I hope you know how impressed we all are by the work you've put in. (Hugs)
