Sweat or no sweat

Sweat or no sweat , spring is coming  . 

If you've fallen off the bandwagon getting the goal for excersise a permanent life style change happenin , no sweat , spring is coming . It's a second chance at making the New Years resolution happen permanently . Who says New Years has to start Jan 1 lol . 

For me it started yesterday that I decided enough is enough and like smoking I am just taking one day at a time and doing it .  . I'm not looking at the future as much as I am looking forward to today . It's all I got and it's all the work that is required for today to get the job done. 

Weigh scales are not required . Just persistence ,perseverance  commitment and patience and gratitude "  Lets do this in a healthy way"  is my motto . 

Like quitting smoking I had a relapse . Like smoking  I let circumstances , triggers and the things that I had no control over take control . It's a negative response .  I m taking my power back and turning negative into positive . I have to do it for me, just like I had to quit smoking for me . 

I'm starting at the basics , back to just achieving small goals of time instead of fearing that forever word and facing the denial head on . I won't be or looking for excuses not to excersise, or blaming my circumstances on those circumstances or others . My quit is dependant on my attitude being positive

 No slips from this day forward ,"  I'm not going that way " another valuable slogan I will use to excersise .  Not doing leads to not doing and not doing again and that leads to relapse . My new comfortable will be "doing what I think I can't do "and the goal is just to " go to bed a winner " . 

Sweat or no sweat , I'm in it to win it .  Let joy follow as each day passes . I can do it , you can do it , we can do it .

                       ☀️One day at a time ☀️                          

Please join in if you want to , I'm open to that . We can inspire each other with quit slogans and memes , little successes and big successes , success stories and more positivity to make it happen ! No negative comments allowed even if you couldn't do it today . Negative never produces good results .   " Make a commitment to excersize as I have today and use the quit slogans you are using to quit smoking or add ones specifically for excersising .Share what you use . We are not maybe body builders or triathletes just Ex smokers who want a better lifestyle moving forward . Who knows maybe some of you are body builders and triathletes present or Ex and if not I always say it's never too late 🙂

Please check with your doctor . Let them know what you are doing . It's always good to have them on board . They know your medical history .

Sorry, couldn't help myself 😄

It's going to be warm and sunny here today so I get to go outside! I love the idea of treating exercise like your quit. One day at a time and no excuses! Thanks for starting this thread Maki ❤️

I have finally wandered over to this site on the invitation of @indingrl . I am adverse to exercise, as embarrassing as this public confession is. But I do know my body and spirit would benefit from it. So, I am opening up my mind to possibilities and shall return!

Good to have you @SuzyQ411  Nice of indingrl to send out an invitation but as far as I know so you and others know if they are checking into groups , there are no invitations needed , it is open to all . You may find many threads within the group and possibly indingrl was referring to the get moving group . Check them out as well . Mine here is not really a group although i did say anyone want to join me I'm very happy.  please come , share , anytime . This one is more excersise focused , the other is Moving the best we can and that could be gardening , yard work , housework , walking etc . Also some excersizing there such a short lifting weights , riding á stationary bike , swimming and Leslie. Sorry don't know her last name , indingrl does excersize faithfully to her , so a nice mix of things there . Do both , share as comfortable . We inspire each other there , here and in other groups ,just as we do quitting smoking . There is a few closed groups but none I know of are closed excersise  groups . Hope this helps .
