Yesterday I read about Lynn Haraldson Bering’s weight loss journey on her blog. Wow, what an inspiration. And I needed it too. One of the biggest anxieties for me about losing weight/getting in shape is how quickly I can start to feel like I’m sinking. Which brings me to Newton’s Laws:A body at rest tends to stay at rest. A body in motion tends to stay in motion.(Keep moving forward on the right path. The right path is the treadmill, eating consciously and blogging.) The more mass a body has, the more energy it takes to get it moving.(The fatter I get, the easier it is to keep getting fat. The fitter I get, the easier it is to keep getting fit. )For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.(Overeating, skipping my workouts and neglecting my emotions, I feel like poop. I’m paraphrasing Newton, but still… you get the point. The more I eat, the more empty I am. The more I experience, the more relaxed I feel. The more I understand myself, explore, write and share, the more I am whole.)

I know the feeling. When I am on a roll I feel great and then weeks later when I am just kicking back and have not done much exerise and am eating not very great food I feel like crap.
I find that I have to always be thinking of my next exercise and change things up so that I don’t get bored. If I am thinking of going swimming, or biking, or just running around with the kids then these thoughts will spur me into action.
