You may think it is so easy for me to talk health and fitness all the time because I've made the change to being healthy and fit. It isn't all that easy. Because I wasn't always "miss Fit". But I can tell you that just doing what you can will most likely be enough to get you on the right path to a healthier you.

Fitting it all into your day to day life is a struggle. Realizing that there is usually a full time job involved, plus a household to run, not to mention children and extended families as well; all this needs to be addressed. But realizing that your health and well being will determine how well you handle these day to day hurdles should reiterate the fact that you NEED exercise in your life. Exercise is the cure all and the end all for many health issues. It makes you sleep better at night. It energizes your thinking. It gives you more energy. And it makes YOU a person who can handle more obstacles than you can imagine.

Just recently, I read about a super fit woman who was involved in a car accident. Her physical and mental stamina helped her to heal from her injuries in an amount of time that flabbergasted her doctors. If being in shape can do that for your body, imagine what it can do for your mind and you mood!

Personally, I have developed new reationships with my husband, my children, my family and my friends. Because I feel better about myself, I find that I don't lash out like I used to. I don't have to vent my frustration on others, because, quite frankly, my frustrations are so minimal. What I felt about myself was a reflection of how I treated those I love. Let me repeat that...

WHAT I FELT ABOUT MYSELF WAS A REFLECTION OF HOW I TREATED THOSE I LOVE.

And it wasn't good. It wasn't healthy.

Reach deep and find what works for you. It may mean starting with just 10 minutes a day this week to get in a brisk walk or a 10 minute workout. Next week, you may find that you want to add just a few more minutes because you love how it makes you feel. The following week, you'll seek out 10 minutes more because you are seeing how you are looking better. The week after that, you'll find 40 minutes a day because you see something new in yourself. And so does your family. And you want that to grow.

Do what works for YOU! Make it happen.

Just get up and do something.
