To Tell the Truth: It's Getting Easier

I've mentioned before that I'm not exactly a fitness guru.  I don't love to run or workout and if I were to be completely honest, I have to say that I liken working out to my other daily chores: somewhere on the same level as cleaning toilets.
The reason I work out every day is simply because it's something I have to do in order to get and maintain the kind of fit and healthy body that I desire.  I tried the "sit on the coach and eat relatively well" approach, but it didn't work.  I've learned that being fit and healthy takes a combination of BOTH exercise AND nutrition.
Period.
When I first started the workout program, it was a daily struggle to get myself up and going.  Just pushing play every day took great self will and motivation.  But I had committed to doing it and that was that.  I could have sat around and continued making excuses.  Because everyone knows I have plenty of them (physical pain from Arthritis and Lupus, 5 kids to distract me, moving from state to state twice in a six week period, etc).  But I didn't.  I kept at it.
And now as I get to the end of my fourth month on this workout regiment, I have to say that it is GETTING EASIER.  During the second month I noticed I no longer had to struggle internally with myself quite as much just to get myself going.  I had established a WORKOUT HABIT.  There was no longer a question about whether or not I was going to do it.  I knew I was.  Just that alone made it so much easier.
As I slowly get into better shape, the workouts aren't as hard to get through either.  I'm not as sore the next day.  I don't have to pause as much.  And I surprise myself when I can get through more and more reps of a particular movement before it starts to burn.
It's getting easier!

I tell you all this not to brag but to show you that if you are just beginning, DON'T GIVE UP!  I promise that it will slowly, gradually get better.  A few months down the road you will LOOK better, you will FEEL better and it will be easier!
It just takes consistency.  Do it every day and your body will thank you.

By the way, yesterday was Weigh Day.  Sorry I didn't report but my bathroom scale has decided to call it quits.  And just 2 weeks after I bought it!  I will take its carcass back to the store when I get a chance.  I thought I had gotten a good digital scale, but obviously not. 
But how did YOU do?  E-mail your results to angiepete@gmail.com.  I want to know your progress!
