Exercise Is Not Just For The Birds

*WARNING: Haters who are going to read this and criticize and say things like, "I wish I had your 'problem'" or "I don't know what you're talking about, you don't need to lose weight" or "I hate you because you're skinny" may feel free to skip over this blog because it's really irritating*

Those of you who know me know that I often say that different things are "for the birds".  If I don't like to it or don't want to do it, or just feel like being difficult, I simply say, "Forget that! It's for the birds."  Also, those of you who know me know that I am extremely thin.  I always have been, it's in my genes, and I have never had to work at keeping myself looking fit.  I use the term "looking" fit because I am probably not as healthy as I look on the outside.  I don't eat healthy, I don't exercise, and I probably don't take care of my body the way that I should.  My best friend (who is also very thin) came up with the term "skinny-fat" which, in my opinion, describes me perfectly.  When people ask me questions about my health, I tell them I don't have the discipline to stick to a diet or exercise program to stay healthy: I eat what I want, when I want, and that is a very wrong attitude.  Whether you're skinny or not, proper diet and exercise is important because our bodies change over time.  Age is a huge factor in body changes and, as the road to 40 fast approaches, I need to take that into account, especially as I'm noticing that my arms flap when I wave and the cellulite on my thighs isn't going away by itself.

That being said, I have just done a workout session and as I'm sitting here, body shaking and knowing I'm going to be sore later, I can't help but come up with a few thoughts:
1. I hate exercise. 
2. I take my thin figure for granted.
3. I need to tone my body, so that I can maintain my current size/weight/figure.
4. I hate exercise.
5. I will commit to being healthy.

This means that I will do my little routine on an almost-daily basis and I will begin to "feel the part" of a skinny girl....maybe I'll even do a half marathon....whatever it takes to get myself to the me I want to be for the rest of my life.

All the Glory be to God!
