leesa lk, I like your quote! I hate being sick. I think it's my biggest motivator for staying healthy! I feel so much better when I exercise. My body feels better. I'm in a better mood, I have more energy.

When I don't exercise, it's like a vicious downward spiral. I'm more tired, so I don't want to do anything. I'm crabby so I don't want to do anything. Sometimes I force my self to just get my clothes on and start walking. After 5 minutes, I'm ready to go!
