I think there are very few people in this world that exercise comes naturally and easy too. I think for most of us natural non-athletes, our brain will always veer toward the path of least resistance. Really - how many times have we opted not to go to for a walk or out to the gym or engage in any type of physical activity because staying home on the couch sounded better after a long day? Because it's easier. Thousands of Americans every day do the exact same thing and opt for non activity on a daily basis because of being busy and tired. I'm there too. It takes hard work to keep up a healthy active lifestyle. And lets face it, it's taken most of us 30 + years to get to where we are today. Nothing will magically change overnight and it takes time. Bad habits are tough to break but they can be broken.
We all will miss our 4 days once in awhile and that's ok. It's when you give up every week and settle for less of yourself is when you really lose this game. Don't get caught up in the downward spiral of missing week after week. This is about our lives and our health. We're all here for each other to succeed.

Wow, that could not have been a more timely post. I whined to my husband all the way home from work that I couldn't wait to get into my PJ's and watch TV after the day I had today. After reading this, I'm going to excercise instead.

Good for you Kelli! My challenge has been exercising while sick. The first week of the sickness I was able to manage getting in 4, but the second week I was not. This week I WILL do at least 4 though! I will work on getting back up to 7 again too!
