I have struggled with health issues for years now and something finally just clicked.
If I don't want to be the one who can't ride the bike as far as everyone else.
If I don't want to be Exausted
just carrying a basket of laundry
I must take care of this body.
SOOOO starting 2 weeks ago
I Elected to
Experience a new me.
I started to EXERCISE.
I must EXERCISE self discipline in how much I put in my mouth.
I chose to use myfitnesspal app on my phone to watch my calorie intake. UCH! Do you realize there are calories in EVERYTHING?
Well, Except water...
And I joined Curves. A friend joined with me and I was Excited to have someone to be accountable to then... she couldn't go the first day we were to go.
Hmmm I had to be Extreme in my determanation!
I went alone.
I look more like this cute elephant than sleek little Betty above. But I don't care.
I have to do this for me.
I have now managed to go 5 days a week and actually buttoned a pair of pants that I had felt like an Elephant pouring myself into before.
I have a long way to go, but I have a goal!
Hope this might inspire you to get out and do something good just for YOU because YOU are worth it.

Good for you.
Exercise can be so hard to keep up. I know I'm the E for elephant too.
So...keep on keeping on!
I think the elephant is very appealing and I like the name of your blog too!
I am finding it hard to keep up with mine but I am trying my best.

A cheery and positive post.....love your exuberance and attitude!
Good for you! I've been having so much trouble exercising my own discipline, but I know that I must. If I don't do it, no one is going to do it for me.
Thank goodness I actually like water, as it's the only low-cal thing I've been ingesting lately!
Good luck as you continue your journey.
Calling by from ABC Wednesday,wishing you all the best with your Exercise regime.
Sounds like a good plan!
