Why I Workout

I have never been sporty.  I don't care to play or watch, it's just not me.  Sure I will occasionally watch a game, but most of the time it's
because one of my nieces or nephews is playing.

I really disliked the idea of playing any sport in school.  There are a few factors that played into it: #1 I am uncoordinated, #2 I was always picked last, and I didn't want that to be the case(fear of rejection, in high school--duh!), #3 I didn't want  ANYONE watching me.

SO what does this have to do with working out? Maybe not much, but I realized when I was in high school that even though I wasn't a fan of sports, or PE, I had to do something to keep myself from turning into a big blob.  I initially stated exercising regularly to negate all the crap I was eating. 

Now, I know how I feel after I exercise and that feeling alone is enough to keep me coming back.  It truly is a high after I am done, I feel almost invincible.  But, the real reason I keep waking up, dragging myself out of bed and pushing play is because I don't just want to survive life, I want to feel great doing everything!

I do it so I can chase my kids around, 

I do it so I can be an example to my kids.

I do it to show God that I am grateful for this body he has given me.

I do it to be happy.

I do it for ME!
