This contest has been sooooo good for me, I really am torn about saying there has been a biggest benefit, but as I am cooling down from a great workout, sweat dripping and endorphins bee-bopping around in my brain, I have to say to not miss a single day of exercising - not one day - since the beginning of March - has made me a very happy girl. I've said it before, but I must reiterate - exercise is the prozac it takes me at least 30 minutes to swallow. The first 5-15 minutes usually really stink on ice, and I'd rather quit, and I watch the minutes clicking by. But at around 15 minutes, something magical happens. I. Want. To. Work. HARD. I want to push myself, beat yesterday's record, go a little longer, or a little faster. I. Love. It.
The best words I have learned in this contest came during the weeks in the beginning when I was so sick and coughing so hard. Because of this contest, these were the words that got me downstairs on that treadmill:
NO EXCUSES
Thirteen weeks later - I feel like a different person inside. God made our bodies to do this. He really did curse the earth FOR OUR SAKES. We are so lucky we have to work. And it is sooooo damning to not. This is an arena of battle that presents it self every morning, and it is important TO WIN IT.
Today, I won. And, thank the Lord - I need to face it again tomorrow. And the next day. And the next.
NO EXCUSES!
