Everyone focused in on the exercise. I was using that as an example, but I know it's vitally important, especially to those of us who spend most of our time sitting in front of a computer! Good luck to everyone in their exercise and other endeavors! LOL. Everyone focused in on the exercise.

Work, family responsibilities, your home and other stuff always weighs in. The only way that I'll exercise is if I enjoy it. The only exercise I enjoy is walking, so I take a brisk two mile walk nearly every day. Weather, darkness, sickness, and time sometimes intrude but I usually get back on track quickly. I feel better, I keep weight off, and I know that it is good for me. Sure, others exercise much more faithfully, but that is okay for them. I found what works for me. You can't change the past, but you can impact your future through healthful exercise. If I get bored with my routine I change it, but I plan on keeping it up. BTW, there is a 92 year old man in my neighborhood who is out walking nearly every day. He walks briskly and looks much younger than his age.

Over the last year up until 2 months ago I have been exercising a LOT. I lost a lot of weight and got pretty fit, I worked up to about 12 hours of exercise a week which was a bit too much! Then I decided I wanted to quit my job, I launched a blog and started working on some business related things and gradually that took over every spare minute and in the space of 2 months my exercise dropped to zero. I'm feeling it already, I've put a few pounds back on. I'm also going to ease myself back in slowy. I'm simply going to add one exercise session a week until I'm exercising once a day - I think thats a nice balance. So it will take me another 6 weeks to get there but that's nothing in the grand scheme of the rest of my life!
