It's Not Easy!

I managed to exercise FOUR days in a row!  Three days on my Rebounder and last evening I suffered through a cardio video workout.  Over the years I have acquired various video workouts on DVD.  I pulled them out to see if I thought I could even manage any of them.  I watched a few segments of a couple of them and decided to try a Biggest Loser ten minute cardio workout.  That was just about the longest ten minutes of my life!!  Of course, I modified several of the exercises because I'm just so out of shape.  I noticed every pain and pull.  I felt every stretch and strain as my body tries to move in ways it hasn't in years.  I remember in the 8th grade, we did a PE segment of "dance aerobics".  It was my favorite part of PE that I ever had in school.  It was FUN and EASY!  Thirty years later, it's neither fun or easy.  If I keep going, I know it WILL get easier and it WILL become fun again!!

I keep reminding myself that if I just keep going and challenge myself a little more every day, everything will become easier and more fun!  I make myself get off the couch to do things, rather than ignoring the things that need my attention - whether it be the laundry, my grandson, or the dogs.  I continue to tell myself that it will be even easier tomorrow!

Today is a rare winter day near 50 degrees!  I got out there while it was "warm" and took care of a few things that needed done outside.  One day the things that are difficult for me now will become so much easier.  I just have to keep on moving!
