What's Fear If Not A Motivator For Change

---

Exercising me…

Had an epiphany of sorts…watching the mirror…lifting those 6 lb weights…

Realization hit…that there’d been a thought change…a paradigm shift…the reason for being there sweating…suddenly different…

Aerobics in the 90s…cardio and weightlifting after that…it was all about being attractive…looking good…and now…

It’s about surviving…literally…do or die time…lower that cholesterol…strengthen the core…the reason for that back injury tipping the scale…

Those back muscles…beautiful as they may be…can no longer support the pelvis…say what…seriously…muscles just quit on you…is that really a thing…

Apparently…

Should be empowering…but honestly…it’s scary…but what’s fear…if not…a motivator for change…

Change in perspective…change in exercise types…and maybe one of us will see…a little bit of change…around that blobby middle…

Cuz if blobsessed me is going to work out to survive…she wouldn’t mind looking good…doing it…

And that husband of mine…agrees…
