Exercising Makes Me Happy

I love this... and I completely agree! At one time I thought, "I can diet but I hate exercise!" Then I came to a point that if I didn't exercise I wasn't going to get where I wanted & needed to go... which was to drop 60 lbs, I was 39! On my own I started getting up 45 mins early and doing 30 mins of exercise.My Doc said find something to keep you accountable or you could get bored. Now, seven years later I'm totally addicted... I get up (without an alarm) at 4:45am and either run or go to boot camp. I'm so thankful to have found a group that helped me find myself! Enjoy your journey and good luck!

And exercise doesn't even have to be boring! You just have to find the one that's right for you and you will stay motivated because you actually have fun. I've always been the chubby kid but I've always been super sporty but I was never able to be great because I didn't fuel my body properly. I once tried doing drastic calorie and carbs cuts (basically non) and I stopped being able to really exercise but I lost a TON of weight. But I wasn't happy and felt deprived. Now that I've learned proper balance I feel amazing even if I'm not yet at my goal weight and I love seeing what my body is capable of.
