One GIANT leap forward

Today, I made a giant leap in the history of my fitness regimen. Today I did something that only a few weeks ago was unthinkable!! Something that I would have thought was "impossible," "obsessive," "one step too far," "undoable." But today, I scratch these terms from my glossary and I am proud to say that -

I exercised during my lunch break!!!

Can you believe it? This may have just put me on the gymoholic list but I do not care. And while others were eating or sitting in front of the computer screen, I was in my shorts and t-shirt making strides on the elliptical machine in our building's exercise room. And, boy did it feel good! Sure I was watching the Food Network while working out - but I was working out, and that is what counts. And, sure I only put in 25 workout minutes but that is definitely better than not putting in any minutes!

Yes of course I have been more fit in the past than I am now, and I certainly have been smaller than I am now. But as of today I placed myself on the fitness map, and I have given fitness (which had already existed in my dictionary) a central location on my map. As of today, there is no turning back to the dark ages when exercising was not part of the routine.
