I'm at an age when many women believe their best years are behind them. I hope to convince my "Sisters" that many more of those "best years" are waiting to be lived! I'm living proof it is never to late to live them. Not to long ago I weighed nearly 200 pounds and was being treated for a long list of obesity related medical problems. Thankfully there came a point in my life when I decided to keep my self promises. When I did...my life opened to a world of possibilities.

The start of week 2...

Wow...it was 40 below this morning....in Northern Minnesota and I really didn't want to leave the house and go to the gym. Frankly a hot cup of coffee and watching the Ellen Show was the only thing on my to do list.

But my husband insisted...I whinned.
He then put the pressure on.
"Now, Rocky...you are the champ. Do you think Champs let a little cold
weather stand in the way of their victory?" He said sweetly--hitting the TV remote .

He had a point...I went right to our bedroom, put on my workout clothes, then a wind suit, and them a winter jacket, hat, mittens and boots.

We did the Minnesota Shuffle into the car and hit the gym. (Talk about your warm up time!)

When we got to our little cardio rehab gym there were several hearty souls already there--working hard.
Inspired by their dedication...I worked hard too.

It really is what a person does most of the time--that determines what a person becomes. ..and a support system is an essential part of success. Thanks Hon---for reminding me.
