Exercise your judgement

I am in the process of trying to get healthy. I am slightly overweight and it only serves to exasperate my angry joints. My knees, wrists, ankles, toes, fingers.... Oh jeez. I can't even list all of the joints that hurt. Anyways, by strengthening the muscles, I'm strengthening the joints and can *already* feel a difference.

And it's only been three days.

I know I've worked out before and never really stuck with it, and I can't tell if it's because I'm getting old (Oh goodness, please no!) or if it's because I never picked a good time. All of these everybody's talk about how they work out at 5 am or as soon as they get home from work or right before they go to bed, yadda yadda yadda. Well, my workout time is precisely around lunchtime. :)

I like it better. It makes me feel more accomplished in the middle of my workday (I bring a change of clothes, a washrag, and deodorant) while at the same time waking me up out of the monotony and giving me an actual appetite for lunch. I can practically feel the calories burning while I eat.

Speaking of eating, I'm not even really dieting. Granted, since I am gluten intolerant, I automatically cut out things such as breads and pastas, but I am trying to focus even more so on vegetables and things. Mostly, I'm taking the idea of grazing. Not really eating full meals, but just eating sporadically throughout the day when I'm hungry. And I can already see the difference in my figure and feel the difference in my body.

AND IT'S ONLY BEEN THREE DAYS.

Now, I've never been one to preach and tell people to "work out", but this experience has won me over a bit. I just wanna say that there is a *right* time for you to work out. And it's awfully rewarding.
