Exercise

All along this journey, exercise for me has been all in or all out.  That's the way I am.  If I can't give a minimum of 100%, I'm not doing it.  So far, that hasn't worked so well in the weight loss arena!!

I've been needing to fold in some real exercise in to my day.  I love the flexibility of working from home.  The biggest downside for me has been boundaries between work & everything else.  It is too easy to put of things like exercise or dusting or anything that doesn't sound fun at the moment because I feel like I can do that anytime.  Of course, anytime never comes.  

When I worked in an office, I still found excuses not to exercise and when I really wanted to, I had to carve out time.  With my recommitment to losing weight, I knew that exercise was a key component, and I'd have to schedule the time to do it.  Here's the kicker, my December schedule is jam packed.  I won't go in to details, but I have a lot to do, and it will be hard to find an hour to do one of my workout DVDs.  That is not counting cleaning up afterwards.  (I confess I considered not showering after since I do work at home and am alone most of the day!!!)

I've heard over and over that some exercise is better than none.  So, I drug out my Walk Away the Pounds and did the warm up & one mile today.  That is all the time that I had.  I feel good and energized.  That is a good thing.  I'll need it to get through the end of the year. 

So, for the month of December, I will do some form of exercise 3 days per week for whatever time I have.  If I can work out 4 or 5 days, I will.  I should be able to at least do the first mile like I did this morning.  We shall see where this path leads.  I think to a good place.
