Lesson: Less is more

Lesson I have learned: Less is more when it comes to exercise! I would always get excited about my fitness in the past and then dream up this unrealistic, unattainable, goals and I had no way to really measure them. I would say things like I am going to walk 6 miles a day for the next 30 days. I would walk maybe two days and quit. I was so hard on myself and this only lead to defeat. I decided not to be so judgmental. My body is telling me that it wants to lose weight, I can hear it in my feet, my knees, my breast, my arms and my thighs. I decided to sit down and really think about what I can do instead of focusing on the negative and failure. I can walk twenty minutes a day for seven days. Simple, short and sweet. I made a goal and a plan to do that simple task and today I walked. I have so much energy that I am going to walk for the rest of these next six days! I am highly motivated to take baby steps to melt the fat away and be healthy, happy and finally and forever fit! CLM
