An Object in Motion Tends to Stay in Motion

Update: Down 2, now at an even 240

I don't know where my willpower is coming from.  I don't know why this time things click and make sense about how to do this.  I don't know why I am finally looking at myself and not seeing a fat girl, but a girl who doesn't have to be fat.  I love this feeling, the one where I am in control of my destiny.

On the days I don't exercise I miss it.  On the days I don't want to exercise and do it anyway, I am really glad I did.  On the days I am pumped to go exercise I try to do a little more than the day before. Where did THIS person come from?  She is new, not someone I have known before, but I like her.  I like her positivity, her demeanor, her attitude.  The thing is SHE is ME!  I didn't know this person lurked inside me, I am glad she has come forth to be in my world.  It is my sincere hope she doesn't go into hiding again.  (for the record, I am not crazy, it is not a multiple personality disorder)

I have always been a couch potato, and I admit, I still like my spot on the couch.  I am not quite a Sheldon from the Big Bang Theory, but I do have my spot.  Now though I thoroughly enjoy walking, tae bo, and yoga.  I also enjoy Just Dance and tennis for the wii. As my mom would quote from the movie "Madagascar", "I like to move it move it".

Therefore I now completely understand the old adage an object at rest tends to stay at rest, but an object in motion tends to stay in motion.  And, I for one, am going to stay in motion.

  2. I know exactly what you mean about exercise. On days I don't do it, like Tuesday when I had a big group project due for my Master's class, I really felt guilty, like I was letting myself down. So, I did a double work out today to make up for missing Tuesday. Not quite the same, but I feel better about my minutes of exercise this week afterward.
