A New Regimen

November 15, 2010

This morning is the first morning of the rest of my life! HA! Tomorrow will be too. It is a funny little saying isn’t it? But the statement is, forever, true. Each day is truly the first day of the rest of my life.

On this first day of the rest of my life, I have resolved to starting a “new regimen”. This new regimen fits right in with the others; needed life changes. I’m not 100% sure that I am looking forward to it and I would surely be lieing if I said otherwise! There is absolutely nothing “fun” about working up a sticky sweat or moving my body in ways that are unnatural in order to create soreness in areas I forgot were even composed of muscle! You guessed it…daily exercise routine! I use to really enjoy working out but those years have long gone by.  In ways, my mind says, “Eh, forget about it, your 42, enjoy not having the…I’m 20 and fretting over everything that enters my mouth mentality”. Right now, the silky smooth, rich, sweet taste of cheesecake seems much more appealling!

This brings me to my morning blessing to help me keep things in order.  I have had some health problems in my “years”.  Those problems have brought money concerns, fear, anxiety and a whorlwind of emotions that filled me to the point of overflowing with sadness and tears.  I hope to live many many more years to come but I hope to live them healthy and without such concerns.  One way to make that happen is through daily exercise. I am TRULY blessed that I have the opportunity to get up and get moving! I am blessed that I am able to implement a daily exercise regimen. I am blessed that each day is an opportunity to make my body as healthy as it can be! I am blessed to be sticky sweaty and sore in places I forgot I owned because it means I am here and able! I am truly blessed.
