Play Time is Over

Hi folks, Stephanie Newton here.  Life as I knew it is over.  I used to lounge around in the mornings drinking coffee and reading email.  I'd watch funny videos on youtube that people posted on facebook.  Then I'd settle down for the day and get to work.

All that changed last week when I joined a gym.  Drinking coffee is lovely (everyone should definitely lounge around with their coffee, or tea if you must, at some point every day).  But now that I'm in my forties, and I'm not telling you how far into them I am, everything seems to sticking in places it shouldn't be, especially that twenty-five pounds that wasn't there three years ago.  So.

I'm late posting this morning because I was sweating.  And I need help.  Last week, when it was new and exciting and the gym people were all friendly and helpful, it seemed fun to go, but today it just seemed like work.   What keeps you motivated to exercise?  Advice?

Stephanie Newton lives in Northwest Florida with her husband, two teenagers, and two poodles.  The poodles are obviously in charge.  Her next book is a novella called "Christmas Target" in HOLIDAY HAVOC,  a Christmas 2-in1, with Terri Reed.  You can order it here or look for it in retail stores November 6.
