The Desire

You know when you are on such a great work-out streak and then out of nowhere BAM it hits you, life. Something comes up and changes your entire routine. This week has been one of those weeks for me.

Here is my thoughts on those situations:

• You can only do what you can do: If you're trying to do exercise here and there, do not beat yourself up because you can't get to it 30m everyday. If your life only allows for an hour to 2 hours for week-take it! I read an article a few months ago that was really focused on weight loss and it stated that any bout of exercise was important.
• Exercise is a tool for health; not beauty: This is a revelation that took me 24 years to come to. I don't exercise because it will make me look a certain way (but many people do). Exercise is a tool to a better life of health, when you are healthy, you are healthy in heart, in body and mind; if mind is healthy, personal outlook is healthy. We view ourselves as beautiful.

So, this is what my week has looked like this week:
Monday- walked with my mother-in-law around our local track
Tuesday-nothing
Today-nothing
Tomorrow- walking again with my mother-in-law
Weekend-hopefully either swimming or a couple walks

I am attempting to get back on a weight training schedule as well, I need to figure all that out as soon as I get level with the walks/cardio part of it all :) anyway-all that stated for accountability purposes, of course!

Hopefully this post was encouraging :)
