It is...Oh Lauren, thank you for sharing your heart. It is encouraging to hear others with the same struggles! I am right there with you! It is so easy to just say tomorrow I'll run and eat better. Something I do all the time. The only problem is those tomorrows tend to string together and suddenly it's weeks then months of eating bad and not exercising.<BR/> <BR/>On my little frame putting on just an extra 10 pounds feels like 30 or more. You are right, it's not about being super thin it's about wanting to be healthy. This is especially important to me as Dave and I would love to start a family soon too. <BR/><BR/>I have started to eat healthier and try to get out and run/walk everyday or use our elliptical, but it's hard not having anyone up here to workout with or to call for encouragement- so I will definitely be sending encouraging words your way!! <BR/><BR/>I'm with Rose, too bad we don't live closer, I would go running with you too!<BR/><BR/>ErinErinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16260167728920455939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8411420650566609229.post-44254945945005095872008-06-22T10:37:00.000-07:002008-06-22T10:37:00.000-07:00Oh my friend :) Doesn't it feel good to get those...Oh my friend :) Doesn't it feel good to get those thoughts out?! Thank you for sharing and inspiring me. I took close to 2 months off due to a friend not exercising with me and just letting the demands of life be an excuse to sleep in. <BR/><BR/>Last Thursday (despite my stuffy head) I met my friend for water aerobics. It felt so good to get moving. I was sore the next morning, but was able to get up without feeling like I had a sleep hangover. I took the kids on 2 walks last week, tossed the frisbee around -running to catch and on Sat helped friends pull up sod. <BR/><BR/>I'm back into the mindset of health and exercise (exercise being the more difficult aspect for me). So, I'd love to have you check in on me from time to time if you think about it...I lost about 15 lbs in the beginning of this year, but would like to lose a few more pant sizes :) <BR/><BR/>I love the benefits you mentioned...especially being an example to my kids of a healthy lifestyle, not stressing too much about my weight, but keeping myself healthy so I can enjoy the life God has given me and have the energy level I need to keep up with my kids and husband ;)<BR/><BR/>So, Bravo for being so brave to share your heart...I will be praying for you and know God will grant you the help you desire. You are a beautiful woman who has encouraged me in many ways in the few years I've known you. Too bad we cannot go running together :)<BR/>~RoseRose Starrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15254842091811428144noreply@blogger.com
