Exercise is a really good idea…but it takes a mind set. A made up mind. A determined mind. I’m not sure how much mind I have to offer Mr. Exercise.
I have much more mind to offer Mr. Read. Or Mr. Clean House even. I enjoy Mr. Stroll…but Mr. Exercise??? He makes me sweat. I NOT like sweat! (I said that in typical “Cookie Monster” voice.)
I much more enjoy preparing a meal for my family, setting a pretty table (not very talented in the “setting” part–but I still enjoy trying
), and I enjoy some “gazing out the window” at the world time.
Not so much exercise.
But–this past weekend, I purchased a pair of new running shoes….just in case the mood to run strikes. Not as in “runaway bride”, but as in “exercise”—or at least give it my best shot. I have a feeling—they will be used more for some nice strolls.
Running walking fast we will go!
This will help with the hormone changes. Yes. I know. I don’t either. But the book says…it raises the level of our serotonin and that’s a GOOD thing. (The linked article is very informative!)
So, with the weekend upon us….let see how much exercise (heart-rate increasing) we can do! (Don’t I sound chipper??)
He’s fixing me,
Angie

I’ve tried to be determined to walk more than just in doing the daily duties, several times a week. I find I enjoy it and am getting to know my new neighborhood while walking. When I seem to have extra energy and time (albeit, not very often) I also try to ride bike. I don’t often work up much of a sweat (with you NOT liking to sweat and I seem to do enough of that without working), but at least I am moving. I think that some is better than none. Hang in there darling!
Until
