Haven’t we all used that excuse? It’s great that you did something about your health while your kids were still young enough that you can enjoy activities with them now.

I’ve truly been amazed at how much more energy I have now that I’ve lost some weight. I never realized that I didn’t have energy before (I just thought I was someone who needed a lot of quiet, restful downtime — on the couch) until now, when I easily accomplish so much more. It’s SUCH a wonderful thing.

I am starting back to exercising. I know that I get more erergy when exercising, so that is not an excuse I’m willing to use. I use the real one…I’m lazy! I got on my elliptical once this week, so I am starting slow but I will get there. I just need to find my inhaler…sports induced asthma is not my friend. My doctor was not willing to have me use that as an excuse not to exercise so she gave me one!

Oh, and I’m down within my goal range now, but another 5 lbs would be kinda nice. I still have a few pairs of jeans that I would like to fit back into. I got all emotional when I pulled up a pair of jeans and buttoned them over the holidays. I hadn’t worn them in about 2 years. Portion control really helped me, plus not eating pretty much any of the sweets. Self control is a beautiful thing!

I never believed people when they would say that exercise would give you more energy. I just couldn’t make sense of that, but it is SO true and I’ve learned that first hand for myself now. It’s a great feeling because I used to be “too tired” all the time too…what a crappy way to live!

I’ve found that when I’m tired I NEED to go, especially on the weekends. Exercise wakes me up and makes me happy – it’s so true what they say about those endorphins! haha

These days I find that I have the opposite problem: I have so much energy that it’s difficult to sit still at times.

Great post, Diane!

I kinda have a different experience. Most of my life I’ve been a varsity athlete, extremely active and not all that tired. I can see a bit of a difference now that I’m not working out as hard, but it could be so many things…Of course, my weight is mostly due to a medical condition so maybe that’s the difference?

My mom actually brought me in for blood tests once because I was so lethargic in high school. It almost pained me to have to get up off the couch. I was a total bum. I don’t think all of it was laziness though, I was eating really badly and just wasn’t getting the energy I needed. Now instead of avoiding movement, I embrace it. I find ways to get little spurts of activity here and there during my day. If anything I get restless sitting on the couch at night now!

There is a downside though. Weight lifting leaves me sore all. the. time.

It’s easy to forget how my energy exercise gives you. It’s taken me a long time to realize that exercise is most important when I think I don’t have time for it because that’s when I’m busiest and need the extra energy the most…
