Keeping Up :: Exercise

by beth on April 24, 2012

I am proud of myself. Why? I have man­aged to keep up my exer­cise rou­tine even dur­ing the crazy end of semes­ter rush. I have also added more days and more activ­i­ties. I make myself work for it. Really work for it. Blood, sweat and tears work for it. Minus the blood & tears. Mostly I just sweat. I want to be healthy, not a masochist.

And while it has not been easy to keep with it I make it a pri­or­ity.  I know I am mak­ing myself a pri­or­ity by doing it and can be a bet­ter wife, mother and all around woman by tak­ing care of my body. I really think being doing that, stay­ing com­mit­ted even dur­ing life’s day to day chal­lenges, has helped me a ton.  I truly feel less stressed than I did sev­eral months ago.  I also have the ben­e­fit of hav­ing my clothes fit bet­ter, which I must say is always nice.  How­ever, the best part is I feel bet­ter in my own skin when I am more active and more like me.  And I like how that feels.

And this blurry pic­ture shot with one hand is a par­tial view of what I see from the ellip­ti­cal machine.  Notice my youngest son, he is decid­ing to “cre­ate” with his broth­ers’ Legos {who as you can guess are always so appre­cia­tive of his assis­tance, haha!}. He usu­ally hangs out with me when I work out. He often says things like “Yay, Mommy!” and claps every now again. Which I must admit is very affirming.
