Hi everyone,
I haven't been here much lately and, on the advice of my wise and beautiful friend Debbie H, want to let everyone know why. My health has not been good the past several months and I have been struggling just to keep going, but the good news is, because of my dedication to exercise, I have been able to not only keep myself from being bedridden but also to keep exercising. I want everyone to know that even though it's tough to keep up with consistent exercise and it seems like those last few pounds NEVER seem to go away, if you ever find yourself in a battle for your health, you will look back and know that every minute was worth it. It can make a big difference when your body is trying to fail you.
I have gotten so much motivation from everyone here on these boards and I hope you can all celebrate your accomplishments in your lives everyday instead of feeling somehow less because of a few extra pounds or not being able to exercise as much as others do. We all do the best we can and having a slip here and there does not add up to much in the long run. Each day is an opportunity to start over--don't let that opportunity pass you by.
A special thanks to Trevor and Debbie H for being very supportive of me and being true friends. I'm going to be fine, nothing for anyone to worry about, I just want everyone to know how important it is to keep exercising consistently no matter what. And do what YOU can, don't judge yourself by anyone elses accomplishments or compare your body to others. It's a waste of precious time.
Be good to yourselves
Laura
