If you started your exercise routine along with my first post on exercising then you have more than a week of working out under your belt. Congratulations! Most people don't make it that far. Now that you're in the minority, don't quit. Not quitting makes you special. Keep getting up, keep putting on your tennis shoes, and keep going. You're probably experiencing some unexpected benefits.
Do you remember when you used to have to watch TV, or read a book to fall asleep? I'm betting you're sleeping better than before you had kids. Exercise resets your body's clock. By the end of the month, you're going to be waking up just as easily as you fell asleep--no alarm required.
You're probably feeling pretty perky too. Although you'd think that sweating through an hour of intense exercise would wear you out, it actually has the exact opposite effect. You feel more focused and alert. You're probably not needing that mid-afternoon soda either. And since you don't really need it, I think you should stop drinking it.
Here I am, blindsiding you with yet another goal. But you wanted a change, didn't you? This is how change works. Now that exercising everyday is routine, it's time to make another healthy change. That soda pop really needs to be kicked to the curb. I know it's hard. I had a 32oz twice a day habit a little more than a year ago, so I know that it can be done. Here's the thing, when you're drinking all that soda you're not drinking something else--water. And your new body really needs to be hydrated with the pure stuff. Once you start really drinking water, your body will thank you. You'll get little gifts like less cellulite and headaches. You won't need chapstick constantly. Best of all, you're going to drop more than a few pounds.
What do you think? Are you going to give it a try? Let me know. I'd love to hear from you.
