Hi Everybody! I very much like the August Motivational quotes JJTx thank you!
About depression and then Sue your post on the other thread about “exercise ick” lol
…. I was thinking for me I am really starting to notice now that my main motivation for exercise isn’t just weight control (I have been somewhat athletic through my lifetime but that weight thing was always part of it, more sometimes, less so other times)… anyway now I notice I am also using it to feel better. I haven’t been able to be as active as usual because I’ve been planning for a youth event that I help with as a volunteer this last week… plus a pulled muscle… but I am noticing my mood is also a little denser and I feel heavier…. both physically but also emotionally.
So yes, it’s a journey for me rayze for sure. But I like that my focus is more on feeling better, not because I feel like I need to because something is wrong with me…. hard to describe but I am grateful for the change.
p.s. I liked Lisa’s idea of just keeping going on the 2014 thread rather than naming it again every month, and just flipping it over when it gets to 500…. but I’m really fine either way, I figure it out
…. I just like simplicity - and it might make it easier in the future if someone wants to read through an entire thread. I did that a lot when I first found this forum.
