THE CHOICE IS YOURS!
By the time you are 65, you have lost ½ of your muscle mass
if you haven’t been exercising.
HALF! Can you afford to lose
that? I’m behind the 8 ball and trying
to make up for lost time! Sometimes it
is hard. I mean really hard. But I remind myself often, YOU CAN DO THIS! YOU HAVE TO DO THIS! KEEP GOING!
There was a time when I would not go walking or do any kind
of exercise where other people might see me.
I thought they would make fun of me.
I can honestly say that when I'm out jogging, I never think
about that. All I think about is
completing my route and how long I need to walk to reach my daily goals. I see people out and about. Cars drive by. I'm just oblivious to them. I am just focused on moving my body and
hitting my goals.
Last night my thighs were so sore from all the squats. Plus we started our jog at 7. It's still very hot at 7. After I finished jogging, I added almost
another mile of walking. I was beat when
I got home. I didn't even want to eat
but I'd only eaten about 800 calories for the day. I decided to go to with the half of chicken
salad Ashlie had brought over. I slept
about 8 hours. I'm still tired. But I don't focus on that. I just think, tonight we will be jogging
again. My body is getting so much
stronger! This morning my blood pressure
was 113 over 62! Amazing!
Commit to move your body every day. Start where you are. Don’t compare yourself to others. Your journey is not their journey and theirs
is not yours.
Accept yourself where you are. Make a small change each day. You don’t have to run a marathon. You just have to move a little more each
day. Are you up for the challenge?
Will you be building muscle or be a piece of fat by the time
you are 65. The choices is yours.
