I workout because I want to have some definition to my body. I am …how do you say….curvy. If I can whittle down my midsection….I would be well on my way to posing for a mudflap. Well not really, but you get the idea.
I workout because when I push myself to do something I have never done before, I feel great when I accomplish it! All the pain and energy drain are pushed from my mind and the smile can’t be contained! I want to tell the whole world what I have done! (and if you are my facebook or twitter friend…you will probably hear about it whether you want to or not)
I workout because I am capable of it. There are so many people that have a condition that inhibits them from doing anything physical. Who am I to take my health for granted? While I may not be able to run a mile…I can walk it. Some people will never be able to say that.
I workout because I want to enjoy Saturday cookouts and tailgates. And history has proven that watching what I eat during the week and splurging on the weekend doesn’t show positive results unless I have burned some extra calories.
I workout because it helps me to relive stress. When Jillian tells me to punch it out….oh I punch it out! Sometimes I line up the TV so she is my target, other times I’m punching at emotions. Either way I feel better after I’m done.

I'm glad motivation is one of the labels for this post because it's very motivating. I sometimes remember that I'm lucky that I can effortlessly walk a mile but sometimes I forget, so thanks for the reminder.
I many never be really skinny but someday I'd love to be a mudflap girl like you.
