Every time I have ever started a diet, I have always had exercise goals. I have been successful with those goals in the past for two to three weeks, never any longer then that.
This time, its different. I started with small goals and it is escalating into bigger goals every day. I want to get fit, I want to feel better and I yearn for more physical activity. I had to start walking yesterday at lunch because I felt it was a need not a chore (that is the way it has always felt to me before). Today, I was looking forward to walking, so much so that I took my lunch at 9:30 vs the normal 11:30.
I was getting a little concerned with myself last night when I got into bed ready to go to sleep because I didn't want to sleep, I wanted to go find something to do that will give me that "high" that the physical exercise has been giving me.
I am not sure what to call what I am experiencing but I do know I am glad that I am feeling so different this time around. I am now calling this a change of life vs a diet because I feel so different about what I am doing and how it makes me feel.
Does anybody have any ideas on how to stop the constant yearn for exercise that seems to be lasting all day and night for me? I don't want to stop the exercise because it feels really good but I do want to be able to relax and know that I have done enough exercise for the day once its time to relax and go to sleep.
Feel free to share your opinions and ideas. :)
