I am just NOT like that

You know those women at the gym that just LOVE to exercise? The ones that are begging for more from the instructor? The ones who leave from an hour long boot camp class bouncing off the walls with energy, ready to tackle the day? They wear really cute workout clothes and have fancy water bottles too, ha!

Ya, well, I am just NOT like that, not at all. It is a personal goal of mine to keep my body in shape, and make wise, healthy food choices. Having said that, I don't enjoy it at all! I hate to sweat, I hate to feel like I can't breathe or walk, or bend over, and oh the pain of driving after class, hate it! I leave feeling more tired than I did after an all nighter with the youth! 

I also wear my hubby's business t shirts with sweat pants to the gym and sip from a water bottle that was run over with my van, but still works just fine! Don't get me started on food, I LOVE to eat and LOVE to cook, so that is my biggest challenge.

Oh, I wish I could bottle up their energy, or just figure out where the heck it comes from, ha!

My point is not to complain, really! It's that goals are not easy to attain. It takes dedication, patience, perseverance, accountability and PRAYER! There is such joy from reaching a goal!

I have seen that in the past year I am fitting into my old clothes again(just in time want new clothes), have a little more energy, make better food choices, and to be honest, I am beginning to enjoy working out. Now running, not so much, I do my time, then I am out!

Setting goals and following through is such a great feeling! I can do this in 2011, and can't wait to see the fruits of my labor!
