Who is this person?

There once was a girl who cringed at the thought of exercising. Never exercised a day in her life. Well, that's not completely true; she did take an aerobics class once and would occasionally swim. As far as a regular fitness routine, forget about it. She was much to busy. Too busy shopping, hanging with friends, working, planning vacations, too busy talking on the phone, checking facebook. You name it there would be an excuse for not exercising. 

One day this girl decided to make some changes and a miracle happened. She became dedicated to exercise.  In a little over a months time there was one night where there was no exercise and she made up for it the next evening by doing a double workout. 

Tonight, January 25, 2012 a bigger step was taken.  The eliptical machine was not working (needs a new roller, been getting too much use) and the tv with the Xbox was unavailable. Now the old Lisa would have just said oh well, there's always tomorrow. From experience we know tomorrow would lead to the next day, then the next and eventualy there would be no more exercise.  The new Lisa, the one that I'm still trying to recognize said "I'm going for a walk".  That's right, 9:00 pm, on a chilly winters night, this new Lisa went for a walk.  Hard to believe but I did it.  It felt AWESOME!
