Thank you everyone for your comments and claiming that my story is an inspiration. We all need to find something to be inspired in, I believe. At least something that gives us that extra drive to get off the couch, change one thing (even if it is a small thing) about our negative lifestyles and get moving.
Today, for instance, I had to go to court to finalize my divorce. A very stressful day and more drama to deal with. Afterwards I was very stressed. In the old days, I would find my way to a drive thru and console my feelings with something fried and super-sized. But today, I couldn't wait to get to the gym. I ran on an indoor track and then saw the stairmaster calling me, beckoning me. You know, the really intimidating one with the stairs that are on a roller and you actually go up stairs? I put that puppy on level 15 which is 5 levels higher than I was on last time (8 months ago) and went to town. Sweat was just pouring off of me and so was the stress. I finished with some ab work then hopped in the pool. Swam about 300 yards then into the hot tub and I was feeling all better.
We can all find a way to make some better choices and do something that deep down will make us feel much better.
Stay tuned folks!
