Picking Up An Exercise Habit


Hi Blog!

I bought these shoes . . .


And this sports bra . . .


And I haven't used them yet!  I'm hoping to use them when I get home from work today for a brief 20 minute jog before I get dressed again and go out with the husband to the Bowie Town Center.

Exercise has been a struggle. Sticking to my food plan is difficult, too, but I think exercise is even more difficult.  I love how it feels when I do it, but I'm out of the habit of doing it!  It feels weird to get up and do it, and no time of the day feels like the correct time of day to go for a run.  Then I realized ... it's always going to feel weird until I make it a habit.

When I went to buy the sneakers at Charm City Run, they had me run on a treadmill to check for pronation. It felt so good to run.  I didn't feel out of breath, or that things were jarring. I felt totally supported, light, and warm!

I can hardly believe that I'm going to run today when I get home. I'm so excited and instead of being afraid of the novelty, I'm going to soak up the newness of it and hope it lasts.

Later, blog!
