Exercise is good!

As you may remember from my new years blog post, my plan was to get going with some exercise and get active. Well, I didn't get off to the best start. I Tried a Yoga class which was a bit too much. As a result I got discouraged & down in the dumps about my back. Man this thing has been really annoying. Last week was a bummer week. I was not feeling well mentally or physically, which has been the case on and off for the past few months. I was a psycho mom and apologized to my kids and husband more than once. Over the weekend I decided that I have got to get feeling better so I can be a good person to be around. I love my boys so much and I just don't want them to remember me as mommy and wifey dearest. So this week I started a grandma exercise routine and so far so good. I am just walking and doing some minor weight lifting. when I am on that treadmill all I want to do is turn the sucker up and run like crazy. I am looking around at the runners and I am wishing that I could be doing the same. But instead I look like I am on a walk in the park and I'm 80. But, the good news Is I haven't had any more pain than usual and I feel about a million times better. For the first time in a long time I can actually say that I am feeling really optimistic and I mean it. I have realized that no matter what I can do, the important thing is to do something, anything to move my body. I need it!
