Hey, I'm cool. I have one of those elastic band, slogan imprinted, middle-school-all-the-rage type bracelets. It is lime green. The slogan reads "I Will" and belongs to one of my sons. I saw it today and realized it is just what I need.
I am an older mom. I am a cancer survivor. I want to live to see my children grow, marry, have children of their own. I want to live to see those yet-to-be-born grandchildren grow up. My mantra through cancer was and continues to be "I will dance at my grandchildren wedding." To do that I know I need to live a healthier life. I have to eat healthy food and exercise regularly.
The big problem is I hate to exercise. I would rather sew, or read, or day dream or watch TV. Even though I hate it I am exercising. Not long enough, not hard enough, not regularly enough but I am exercising. I've decided I will wear the bracelet as a reminder to my self that I need to exercise for at least 30 minutes a day 5 days a week. I will wear the bracelet to remind myself that I am making this commitment for myself, for my husband, for my children and for those grandchildren who will join our family sometime in the future. I will wear the bracelet to remind myself that I will dance at my grandchildren's weddings.
