Day 3...

3 Days down, 87 to go.

First off I have to say thank you to all of you out there for your support. I can already see the difference it is making to keep me motivated. I've heard that if you tell someone a goal that you have, it makes you feel more accountable for what you are doing. That is exactly how I feel. So, thank you. You all will help me reach my goal!

For example, today I really didn't want to exercise. It was my stamina day as well, and I just didn't want to get out the door. But, I just grabbed my shoes and thought, you've got to do it Mary, you've just got to. Don't give up, just get it done. And the whole time I was walking, I had to keep telling myself that. When I was on the final stretch, I felt so much pride in my ability to "overcome" my lack of desire. I know it takes a while to create a habit, but I want more than anything for this to become a habit. I want exercise to just be a part of my everyday. I know this program is going to help me get there.

So today, I did my 30 minutes of walking, my 20 minute of stamina training and my 5 minutes of stretching. I do this every Mon, Wed, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday, I will do my wieght training. I will start that when I get to AZ next week. I've got to ease into that one.
