And that we will undoubtedly feel better afterwards. Right now my goal is to be healthy for a trip in April to Italy. I know we will be doing a LOT of walking, and I want to be ready.

I get books on tape from audible.com or check them out from the library. I pick thrillers of suspense novels and only allow myself to listen while I work out.

That was my first and foremost reasons for working out when I was a teenager and even into my twenties. And then I went to nursing school and I was motivated by fear of developing heart disease or diabetes. I had a baby 18 months ago and I still don't fit into some of my clothes. That is part of what inspires me now to work out although it's more of a challenge that I plan to overcome! Most importantly, I look at my son and know that his mommy is her best, her healthiest both physically and emotionally when she is taking care of herself. And that most definitely involves working out. <BR/><BR/>jasonncaryn at yahoo dot comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7061752200430334140.post-31150646214399656382008-12-20T00:49:00.000-05:002008-12-20T00:49:00.000-05:00For me, success begets inspiration.
