I’m thrilled to be able to relate that I’ve been exercising again this week. And I’m hoping that by telling all of you that I am, I’ll be more inclined to CONTINUE said exercise program again.
You know, I hadn’t realized how much forward progress I had made when I was exercising the last time until this week when I started over again, and was back to struggling through. Back to looking at the counter on the DVD player and thinking, “Oh my goodness, are you SURE it’s only been 5 minutes?”
And I don’t know if you guys have realized the very best part of exercising… if I find that I’m not losing weight at the rate I feel like I should, I have a ready made excuse. Muscle weighs more than fat! So clearly, I am both losing fat AND gaining muscle, hence the barely moving scale. Okay, that might not always be the truth, but it makes me feel better…
