Bally's Total Fitness (my gym of choice) is 3/4 miles from my house and they have recently installed new TVs that display motivational quotes, fitness tips and healthy snack ideas. One quote stuck with me today:
"And the day came when the risk to remain in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to bloom" -- Anais Nin. My mantra this week is: Ready to Bloom. I am ready to really embrace exercise again and learn to love becoming healthy. It is a risk; but an important life changing risk that will result in becoming a healthier person (physically and otherwise).

Today I ran another mile!
Although my final time (13:50) and speed (4.5) were the same as Sunday's workout, I did see some improvement -- I was able to run a 1/2 mile before needing to walk; and then only walked again after completing 3/4 mile. Gold stars for me!

I need some help. I am trying to compile a list of body moving music to help with that extra boost. Today I felt my music selections were a little lack luster -- and I need some new grooves for my iPod. Help!
What song(s) gets your body moving?

Thank you to everyone who posted comments of support and enthusiasm on here as well as on facebook -- it means a lot; and will hopefully help motivate me when things get discouraging. Keep them coming!
