if it is important

{The Beautiful Soup}

I love that exercise has become a habit again.
I {really} miss it on the days I miss.
It's not just about weight loss.
It's about being healthy.
It's about feeling alive.
It's about challenges.
It's about success.
Life is good when I'm running.
I get lost for a short moment.
For a short moment there are no problems.
Just me & the road.
{& my music, of coarse}.
No more excuses needed
because I truly love it now.

You want something. Get it. Period.

This is one of my all time favorite movies! Motivating in many ways! But touching on weight loss... I have failed at it MANY times, and obviously am still fighting that struggle that I have seemed to have had practically all my life. If you've seen this movie you know that this guy went through hell to get where he ended up. Weight loss to me is hard like that, but I refuse to give up. So many people reach their goals. Why can't I? I have will, I have strong desire, I have God on my side. I CAN do this. Yes, it is going to take HARD work and some sacrifice, but I am so willing to go through it. If you need some motivation, watch the movie, you will be moved.

never give up
