Struggling to exercise?

I was reading on Runner's World last night or somewhere about running and changing my attitude from 'I have to run' to 'I get to run."  I thought - 'Wow, that's a good way to think of it.'  So today I got to run.  On the way home from running I had to stop to the market.  While I was there, a man with no legs on only one arm in a wheelchair was being escorted around the store with helper.  And then it clicked, 'I GET to run.'  So many people can't but I can.  You can too - walk, run, swim, go to the gym and use the ARC trainer or the elliptical, bike - whatever you like.  But if you CAN remember you GET to do it!  It is a privilege not a chore.  Just my two cents.

You can't measure your achievements with someone else's yardstick!

Great way to look at it!  I will remember that the next time I don't feel like exercising!

WOW Beth, that is awesome.  I have been slacking on the gym big time the past few weeks.  I will get back there because I GET to do it.


Thanks for the inspiration!

People comment on my over 100 pound weight loss and attribute it to my WILLpower, but it is my WANTpower: I WANT to be thin and healthy more than anything else!
