Life is more fun when you Move

3/31/2014

Some times life drops exactly the motivation you need right in your lap, at the right time. In this case, my sister's boyfriend sent me a link to a video. I watched it once. Thought, "yeah, cool." Watched it a second time. It started to hit home. Watched it again and tried to write out the words.

What can I say? Exactly what I needed at this moment.

Newton's first law of physics: "A body in motion tends to stay in motion."

If you look at yesterday's post, you get the sense that I'm "circling the drain" and need a re-set. A reminder that it doesn't matter if you spend a whole day on a ski hill or just a few stolen minutes in the gym, the point is to get active. To move. To stay in motion.

"Move. Move faster. Move against gravity's pull.

I do it, too. Get on a conveyor belt. It's easy. But I'm way more proud of every single day I've spent outside, with my lungs burning, chest heaving, sucking for oxygen and life... I have never regretted
working out, going for a walk ... not once.

We all try to be busy, instead of being alive. We move information instead of simply moving.

It's hard, I get it. But days spent on the couch should be a welcome anomaly, not a way of life.

I figure the type of movement is less important than the moving itself.


Fight for movement. Fight for this life. Life's more fun when you move."

Move.

    Whose blog, now?

    From the gut, about the gut, trying to listen to what my gut tells me.

    I'm just a girl, fighting the same weight battle as much of the population. Lost 100 lbs, working on the rest, trying to find balance between health, fitness, and vanity. I'm also a librarian who wants to share credible information and reliable resources, in addition to my own musings and reflections, what I call "my writing from the gut."
