Renee,
I agree with everything you said!
Making exercise a habit is a real hard work, and not only that, but keeping it up as a habit is a real challenge too.
You’d be surprised, that even I lose this habit sometimes, after a vacation, or a pause because of a cold.
What really maters is not finding the time, but making it.
Motivating yourself is crucial in fitness and weight loss, and making it your lifestyle is the best thing you can do.
Let it become “your thing”, and let it define who you are, and trust me, you’ll always feel motivated.
Never give up!

I am a 5’4 44 yr. Old female. I have exercised since I was 18 but it was on & off. I made it a habit in 2010 by doing it everyday for 3 months & went from 180 to 125. I stopped exercising & started drinking alcohol again like 4 times a week and gained 20 pounds back over 1 & 1/2 yrs. That was in 2014 made it a habit again last April. (It was not easy) I was doing 5days of cardio a week & still drinking & I only lost 5 pnds. I am not in my 30’s anymore but still it’s been a very frustrating long journey so I added weight & resistance training 4 days a week (35 mins of cardio 6 times a wk) cut out alcohol & junk food almost completely I am finally seeing a difference. I am at 137 ( I wanna get to 130) I wanted to give up so many times . It’s hard work & takes dedication but when you start to see results it feels good plus the endorphins from actual exercise. I’ve Learned it’s not as easy to lose in your 40’s as before so I will never stop again cuz it’s so hard to make a habit!

I make it a point to take the stairs. Most times even if I’m with people. I’ll tell them see ya downstairs as they wait for the elevator.

Now I’m looking for ways to increase this by walking the garage ramp when I’m not laddenned down or in a hurry. :-)
