Ha! Julie, I completely agree. It’s easier to take advice from a girlfriend rather than a hubby. We have to watch each other’s backs!

Love reading your list of benefits to exercise! I hear these often from my hubby (a trainer), but it can be easier to hear it from a gal on the same journey. Thanks for the inspiration. I see some push-ups in my future!

I’ve been tempted to get a treadmill so I have no excuses — the weather in Chicago is just too prohibitive to get out during the winter.

The benefits of regular exercise are almost endless! I think each person has to find what works best for her and go for it. For me, having a treadmill at home is a godsend. It is one of the best investments we ever made. Because it’s so convenient, I have no trouble fitting in a cardio workout 5 or 6 days a week. The thing I’m working on adding this year is strength training. It’s important for weight loss, toning, and maintaining strength and function as we get older – but I hate it! But so far I’m managing to fit in a 20-min strength workout 3 days a week.

I am the exact same way! Usually it’s because the whole house goes down with some sort of sickness and I get walloped in the process. My hope is to just do moderate things throughout the week so when I do stop, I won’t lose my steam. I haven’t heard of Bikini Body Mama….hmmm. I’ll have to go check her out. Thanks for the tip.

I just have to psych myself up and remind myself that I have no intention of starving myself and comparing myself. I can only be who I am.

and, just like your list says, i am sleeping better, my general mood is more stable, i have a sense of accomplishment and the tension has eased in my shoulders!
anyhow, enough rambling!
great post! have a great weekend!
xo, mama lola

Too funny. I’ve been working out at home to avoid the gym and those already fit ladies who make me more self-conscious. 🙂
