Thoughts on Health & Fitness

I am not perfect. I make mistakes. I sometimes make bad choices. I do not love to exercise. I hate cardio. BUT, I want to take care of myself. I realize that my health is a gift from God and I want to be a good steward of what he’s given me. I want to set a good example for my children. I want to be healthy enough to enjoy life. I want to feel good about myself. I have learned the benefits of proper exercise and ways to get the most impact for the smallest amount of time. I have learned that food is primarily for fuel and not simply for pleasure. I have learned that small adjustments in my lifestyle can have a huge impact on my health. I lost 25 lbs and dropped 2-3 sizes by incorporating 35 min of exercise into my schedule 5 times a week. I also try to make smarter food choices. You don’t have to be perfect. Anybody can improve their health! You don’t have to love exercise and you don’t have to make your life revolve around it. You just have to commit to making a few small changes. Start adding some form of exercise to your schedule. Could just be walking around the block daily! But find something you can stick with. And start thinking before you eat whatever is in front of you! Anybody can do it! Why not you? Why not start today?
