Exercise

Exercise.  Simply put, I HATE it!  However, I need to either find a way to start liking it or I need to just resign myself that I just have to do it, like it or not.  I'd really rather start liking it, but I'm not sure I have control over that.  I either do like it or I don't like it and I currently fall under the latter.  I do hope if I make myself do it long enough that one day I will start to like it and want to do it because of that "high" that regular exercisers get.  You know the one I'm referring to?  My sister exercises ususally 5 days a week and hates it if she misses it because she just feels better overall when she exercises.  That is what I want.  I guess 3 weeks so far of doing cardio 3 times each week isn't long enough to have that feeling.  The only way to see if I can feel that way is to keep on keeping on.  Exercise is so important to my long term health and long term weight loss and weight maintenance.  I love the way I feel after I'm done doing it, but I dread going and I ususally dread it while I'm doing it.  I am working out with a new sleever friend, Cheryl, and that helps tremendously.  Ususally, she listens to her music and I listen to mine until we are done.  Tonight though, we actually talked through our cardio and it made it much more enjoyable and it made it go much faster.  Soon, we need to add in weight training.  I'm trying though to take 1 step at a time and not overload myself which would most likely lead to quitting exercise all together.  So, for now, baby steps it will be. 

I hope everyone is rocking their sleeve!
