I am sure I'm not the only one who has the days of not wanting to eat healthy or not wanting to exercise....right!? Some days are harder than others but it is amazing how lately I have been able to push through all those excuses and keep going strong.
Why is that? Well I have finally started getting myself more involved again with other people and groups who have the same mindset as me, I've set goals for myself and made promises to my friends and family ESPECIALLY my kids, that I would reach those goals.
Today was one of those days, I was trying to get the kids ready to go for a walk with me and as I was getting Vitto dressed I felt like I pulled something in my back. Most days I would say "oh that hurts, I'll just stay home now and go tomorrow" NOT TODAY! I took some Motrin, stretched and packed the kids up and got them out and I walked the fasted 1 1/2 miles I have done yet! It felt great, I still feel great. just because I took a 25 minute walk, my good friend and basketball buddy for life told me not to long ago...just remember how you felt after that workout especially on those days you don't want to! Thank you Donna for telling me that and I love that your voice popped in my head when i almost said no!
One of my favorite quotes from when i played basketball was you miss 100% of the shots you DON'T take" so guess what....I/we have a shot at taking a walk everyday and making good food choices everyday.... NO EXCUSES!
