My Top Ten Reasons I Work Out....

I have not written in quite a while...I am sure you have missed me, but I feel motivated to write today so I want to share my top ten reasons I work out. And of course, we all work out to feel healthy, lose weight, blah, blah, blah. I want to share the reasons that obviously relate to being healthy but are a little more colorful.

1. Vanity is a fabulous motivator...and I am not ashamed to say I enjoy looking at myself now rather than myself 24 pounds ago. And for those that care, I mean my clothed self, not my naked self. Still having a hard time with naked...
2. Two of my best friends, Ben and Jerry, can visit more often when I work out regularly....and their Danish cousin Haagen Daaz tags along occasionally.
3.We live in a society that can deliver pizza within 10 minutes, but we don't have time to exercise? Seriously??
4. My husband FINALLY got a DVR for our TV so my excuse of "but I will miss my T.V. show" no longer works.
5.Liposuction is much more attractive when there is only 10 pounds to suck versus 50 and seriously, who doesn't want their monies worth?
6. I now know lots of new terms like plank, burpee, and side lunge....and I can actually perform the moves multiple times without passing out!
7. Some parts of me weren't meant to jiggle...I am not Bill Cosby so I wish to lose the Jell-O on my thighs.
8. Who DOESN'T want to live till 100! I have got places to see and people to influence! Not to mention, when I am 100 I plan on being cantankerous and say EVERYTHING I think....and I mean EVERYTHING...because who cares? I am 100.
9. Exercise is an excellent conversation topic and one that is accepted and safe in many different situations. Meeting someone new? Exercise. Girls night out? Exercise. Business meeting? Exercise and you should probably talk about your business, too.....but you get the picture, right? Universal topic and way better than the weather!
10. I love how I feel and I am beginning to appreciate how I look....and that is priceless!
