I did it! Today I went to aerobics this morning. It's a program that if completed is the equivalent of a five mile walk. I did two miles. I have valid excuses as to why I did not finish. One, I needed to get the van home so my oldest girls could get to college. Two, I promised that I would watch my grandson today, because his dad is sick. Three, because I have a head cold, and breathing is a challenge. Four, because that was already at least a half-mile longer than I've walked in years! That is the truth of the matter. But now it's a few hours later and I think I could actually do more! I don't feel stiff or achy or anything. I know it's too soon to be proud of myself, but I am. I've been working up to doing this for years.
I have done exercise before, in the past. So I know that it can be nearly enjoyable, and that the feelings you get from it (endorphins or whatever) is energizing. I also know that you can get to a point where you look forward to it. I'm not there, not yet. But because I have been there I think I can get there again. I just need to take that second step.
