WE MUST PAY THE PRICE!
that is the the mantra for the day. Nothing comes overnight - although it really seems I can gain 5 pounds while sleeping, for some reason it won't come off the same way! lol!
We need to take baby steps and face each day as it comes and be thankful for it all. My hardest part of this is I want my body back NOW - this minute - no this second. Instant gratification - instant success. And that I have to wait, and work my butt off, is just not fun.
Yesterday, the first 20 minutes of the treadmill was KILLER. My shins were hurting so bad - and then I made a big revelation - THE INCLINE WAS SET ON THE HIGHEST!! After I fixed that - all was well and the next 10 minutes were a breeze. LOL!
Today, I did 20 minutes of the treadmill and then did 10 minutes of hand weights and ab work. Tomorrow the plan is to exercise in the morning. I think I'll be much more productive that way.
Tomorrow - the mantra is FIGHT FOR IT, NOT AGAINST IT!

The 21 day CHALLENGE
Ok - here it isRhonna has set out a 21 challenge - It started yesterday - but I WILL start today! My goal for this 21 days - to exercise 30 minutes each and every day. To move - to be thankful that I am alive and able to spend time with my husband and kids.
As most know - 9 years ago (this month!) I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. I accepted it, and I feel so much better - in many ways- then I ever had. BUT - I realized this morning while reading another 21 day participators blog - that I kept the habit of not moving. I was so used to feeling lethargic - I was always painfully skinny so image wise it didn't matter if I exercised or not. Let me tell you - now that my body is not starving itself - I am no longer skinny. Not obese - but not where I want to be - for ME! But I never broke the habit of laying around and not MOVING!!! It clicked today - and I am the ONLY one who can change this - it's not magically going to happen - I need to MAKE it happen. So a day late - and that's ok - I will get my journal started and start moving!
sorry it this sounds disjointed - I'm just letting the words flow.
