But I’m done with my break, and my little bought of feeling depressed, and I hope you guys didn’t miss me too much. I’m going to start back posting regularly and filling you in on what’s happening in my little corner of the world.
Oh, and I’ve decided to start exercising (yes, again). I have a love hate relationship with exercise… mostly I hate it. But no pain no gain, right? Or in my case, no pain no loss!
So today I pepped talked myself into leaving the house wearing yoga pants, running shoes, and a hoodie and took the kids to the park, and then walked a nearby trail for 2 miles.
The first mile I was thinking, “Yeah, you can do this! You rock. Keep it up missy.” The second mile I was thinking, “Ugh, where the frack is the car.” And “Why did you walk so far in the first place?” But I did it. 2 miles. Once that wouldn’t have been such a big accomplishment, but now it means a lot. A lot of work and talking myself into maintaining my goals and working hard are going to be needed to keep up any kind of exercise regimen. I just hope I can keep talking myself into daily walks, and eventually jogs, then runs.
While I keep talking myself into daily exercise, do you guys have any favorite tips, or apps to help me? How do you stay motivated to work out? Anyone got a favorite workout program? If you feel like sharing you can email me (alwaysinwonder at gmail dot com) , or share with me on Twitter or Facebook.

Keep walking the more you do it the more you will like it and get motivated. I used to walk every other day and loved it then got sick and the last three years have been trying to get motivated myself..I got sick with panic disorder and hate it..but you keep pushing like im telling myself..long distant walking is the best for you. jogging is hard on your body. Good luck with love Janice
I'm getting ready for transplant surgery. On top of feeling pretty yucky I'm supposed to be gettting regular exercise, UGH. It's been a huge challenge but I found a trick that helps. I'm very competative even with myself. I started wearing a pedometer and low and behold it's working. I started out with only about 6,000 steps and now I'm up to almost 9,000.
