I still hate exercise. But I still make myself do it, because I know how much better I feel when I do. Exercise helps my blood sugars, my mood, and my overall health. I do it because I know I need to. Not because I want to.
However, getting exercise in has become easier over the past few weeks. Josh joined a fitness challenge at work. He has a steps goal for every day. So we've both been making a point to get more activity in.

Now, instead of immediately sitting down in front of the TV after dinner, we go for a walk first. Gotta get those steps in! I still walk with my mom several days a week, but now Josh comes too. Walking our little legs off! (Not really, but you get the idea).
I am so very proud of him. And of myself. We're being active together. And exercising with someone you love is so much better than doing it by yourself.
I agree . . . . on all of this. I hate exercise too. But I know how important it is. And when I have Pete with me on a run? So. Much. Better. Keep up the good work - to you and to Josh!
