On off days or days where I can't fit exercise in, I get depressed. My mind just can't wake up and everything seems wrong.

Funny that a few weeks ago I posted about how I don't like exercise. Now I think I'm addicted to it. Wicked!

I LOVE exercise now and I want to spread the message. If you're feeling depressed, seriously, try it for a few weeks.

If you're a beginner, start with Leslie's walk at home dvd's. I do them almost daily along with other things. It should pep you up!

I am going to try to exercise more....

I just don't get it Amy! But on that note my husband wants me to go on a five mile hike with him this morning... So I am off and I will let you know if I liked it.

Correction! He wants to do 10 miles I want only five! Well see who whines louder when we get there!

I don't think I will ever have that issue Amy....wish I did though! :-/

When I suffered from depression (after my Mom's death), my doctor "made" me join a gym or exercise class, so I joined Curves & it really did help with getting me back to my old happy self. Works better than anti-depressants!

Regarding getting addicted to exercising...I have heard/read that it can really happen! We give up a food addiction for another addiction (& hopefully a good one like exercising!) You sound really motivated & that's a great thing!
