Workouts Can Be Fun

I was out with my partner a few weekends ago. We felt like we had been stuck in the house all weekend. Well, really I felt that way. So I made him take me to a local park. It has gravel trails winding around, and really does feel like a mini hike. As we got out of the car, it felt too hot and I was sweaty. I wasn't wearing workout clothes at all. But I did have comfortable sandals on. I wanted to give up. But instead I kept trying, as I walked I started to feel better. I tried to joke around with my partner, it was important to have fun. Sure enough, after about twenty minutes we came to a hill, and I decided to jog up it.

I think working out can be fun, and it can be part of my everyday life. My partner and I call it recess sometimes, it captures that excitement and freedom that we associated with recess in school. But I am not going to lie and say it is easy. Getting used to moving my body again is hard. Sometimes I feel fat and awkward, sometimes sweaty. But if I can get passed that point, it can be a blast! Being able to move, walk, play and run, is so much fun. I want to have that back in my life. So I better do it.

I also took some photos, a cute heavy girl playing in the woods, it was great.
