I have to admit that I hate exercising, look at my behind and you can tell that. But at the same time I also love how I feel after a good walk. And I know that if I don't have someone waiting on me to go I will find something else to do instead. So I have a couple of friends that keep me moving and accountable.
Winter is always the worst for me because I need to get outside and I absolutely hate my "dreadmill". That's it's name. I always feel like I'm being tortured as I have to go to the basement and walk/run and never get anywhere. I hate being cooped up and I crave that fresh air. So after a couple of months of being indoors and doing everything I could to keep for going to the basement and walking on the dreadmill I sent out a distress signal to my friend. "Help I need to get out and walk, I'm dying here." And of course she came to my rescue. I can't speak for her entirely but I'm sure she is probably thinking the same thing.
So today she came over, we bundled the kids up, strapped them in the strollers and hit the road. Breathing in the fresh air felt so good and the weather was just about as perfect as a day in February can be. We got out and walked for an hour and I can't tell you how much better I feel now. It's amazing how a little fresh air and exercise can totally change your mood. I am definately looking forward to get out again tomorrow. And as long as the weather cooroporates I will be pushing her to go with me every day that we can.
