    Anyway, after 10 years of bearing children and caring for them, which I wanted to do and still do-I am committing myself to become more healthy and fit…so, I have joined our Community Fitness Center. I haven’t totally “let myself go”, but I do feel I have neglected myself. Sure, I walk my dog regularly (even in the dead of winter) and remain active, but I need more…like force myself to become stronger in places I didn’t know existed. I have been blessed with some very healthy, young genes and I just don’t want to regret any missed opportunities when I am in my 70s. I’m not looking to be a size 6, just strong physically and mentally…you know?

    I met with my trainer yesterday and he gave me the low down after I did a series of tests for him. Pretty humbling, depressing and motivating. One good thing- I scored high on my nutrition category! Today we met and I expected to be kicked in the bum big time- I get that on Tuesday!

    Next letter, D…this is a fun project.

Good for you, Carol! I think it does so much just to get out of the house and focus on your wellbeing for a few minutes on a regular basis. This is something I haven’t gotten started on yet since the move, but I am dying to get going again. Happy exercising!

oh, i think once school starts, a trainer is in order for me, too. i need some good motivation!

Eren

Good for you! Im with you…as soon as school starts and I can commit (another c) to a regular schedule, I am there! Having three babies has taken its toll.

Sounds like a plan! My sister started using a trainer last year and loves it – she needs someone to lord over her a bit. My local gym is called Body Elite which so far has been too intimidating! Good Luck!

My least favorite part of being in shape is exercising, but I know that I feel so much better when I do it reguarly. Darn it.
