“Do you know how some people are able to stay looking fit for years on end? It’s because they didn’t just decide to work out to lose 10 pounds or because they have a big event coming up. They do it because they know that exercise should be a part of their daily lifestyle. If working out is NOT something that you particularly like to do, then set short term goals for yourself. Strive to lose 5 pounds. Then strive to get your legs toned. Then strive to run 30 minutes straight without stopping. Every time you complete a task, celebrate it and then set another one. It’s a wonderful (and effective) formula for staying active and fit.”

Bonni, that quote is perfect and I agree with it 100%. I always watch people losing weight because of a special event and then after the event, they return to their regular sedentary lifestyle AND the weight is put back on. I could never wrap my brain around that thought process. A healthy lifestyle needs to be nutured and maintained. It is a lifelong goal and commitment……not just for a wedding, reunion, etc.
wonderful points altogether, you simply gained a new reader.
