I've been watching the Olympics and as usual I am amazed by all the athletes. The amount of work and determination they all have to get where they are is unbelievable. They all look so fit, healthy and strong. I can't imagine the hours they spend training.

It makes me wonder why I lack the motivation to do simple regular exercises. I don't have any sports related skills to perfect but I do know regular exercise makes my rheumatoid arthritis better. I know this because I have had times when I have exercised regularly. But right now it's not part of my daily routine so it just does not happen. As much as I want to count it, I don't get that much of a physical benefit from chasing after the twins or even carrying them out to the car one in each arm. It's not just the RA benefit I need, I've got some pregnancy weight still haunting me (prednisone certainly doesn't help) and I'm sad to say that flabby part on the back of my upper arm has made waving goodbye a thing of the past.

So is it okay to have a new years resolution in August? How about a new school year resolution. I will prioritize exercising and make it part of my daily routine. Starting tomorrow. I'm pretty sure.
