Thursday Thirteen - Exercise and the Lack Thereof

8 reasons Joan needs to get serious again about the Monthly Marathon (and 5 primary deterrants to doing it): All my clothes are getting too tight. I feel so much better when I am intentionally exercising. Yes, I get a lot of movement most days just by going about my business; but there is something invigorating and uplifting about walking for exercise. I did very well the first 3 months of 2006 – it is a shame to let that good foundation stand there unbuilt upon. I feel depressed much of the time. I know (intellectually and experientially) that exercise helps alleviate that; but emotions are sometimes stronger than intellect and intention. My DH needs the exercise too -- and he won't do it if I don't. I lost 109 pounds four years ago and have gained back more than 30 of those. This trend has to stop. I want live to see my grandchildren grow up -- and I want to be healthy enough to enjoy spending time with them. I have to be strong and energetic enough to finish packing, move, and get unpacked when we start settling into a new home. My primary deterrants are: periodic depression too much interest in blogging packing general lethargy house-hunting with its related phone calls and contacts Links to other Thursday Thirteens!1.
