Are You Moving Today?

[Ranaesheart]

Each new day provides us with the opportunity to move, dance, jump, walk, bend, stretch, run or swim.  What are you doing today?  What is your favorite exercise?  How do you stay motivated and give yourself the gift of renewed health?  

If you're finding it difficult to do some form of exercise 3-5 days a week ... then let's try and identify the reasons so we can all move forward together.  The other members of the group can give some suggestions as to how to overcome them.

By the way ... how about we start logging our exercise into our weight trackers and journal entries so we can hold ourselves accountable.  After recuperating from my panniculectomy, 3 seromas and a minor surgery to repair an adhesion ... I've been out of the exercise for a while.  It's top on my list to get going now.

Here's a few quotes to get you started ...

I have chiari malformation,hashimotos thyroiditis, crevical spinal sitinosis, fibro.......and I have put on too much weight! I have been trying for years to find something I can do.
