Its amazing how one simple change in behavior can have such a tremendous impact on every aspect of my life. Since adding weighted workouts in January this year to my fitness regime I feel much more confident and powerful—not just physically, but spiritually, intellectually, emotionally and even socially! There seems to be so much wisdom and power built into the cells of the body and exercise seems to unleash that power and wisdom.
As I sweat through my weighted workout this morning I couldn’t help think of the first few days in January when the skies were grey and my holiday binge was weighing heavily (no pun intended) on my butt and thighs – how gloomy I felt and yet I knew that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass. Just simply doing that weighted workout consistently the past 6 months has fueled such a positive and optimistic drive in me-- not to mention chiseling off the holiday binge. And just yesterday my neighbor and walking buddy commented that she sees a big difference in the backs of my arms (Yeah they’ve gone from middle age flab to middle aged fab!) Ok ok she didn’t say that but that’s what my cerebral input filtered and I’m sticking to it!
It must be noted that my daughter was the one who got me started on the workout video that I’ve been doing! Who says our daughters can’t become our teachers and mentors and coaches—ok don’t let this go to your head J I still have many more years of life experience than you do!
