Question

 It's 5 ：00in the morning when the alarm rings in my ears. I roll out of bed and walk blindly through the dark into the bathroom. I turn on the light and put on my glasses. The house is still as I walk downstairs while my husband and three kids sleep peacefully. Usually I go for a long run,but today I choose my favourite exercise DV D. Insanity. Sweat pours down my face and into my eyes. My heart races as I face my body to finish each movement. As I near the end of the exercise,I feel extremely tired? but a smile is on my face. It's not a smile because the DVD is over,but a smile of success from pushing my body to its extreme limit.

  Some people enjoy shopping,smoking,food,work,or even chocolate. But I need exercise to get through each day. Some shake heads when they see me run through the town. Others get hurt when I refuse to try just one bite of their grandmother's chocolate cake. They raise their eyebrows,surprised by my "no thank you", or by my choice to have a salad. Over the years,I have learned it's okay to just say "no". I shouldn't feel sorry for refusing food that I don't want to eat. 

  So what drives me to roll out of bed at 5 :00 am? What gives me the reason to just say no to ice cream? Commitment,A commitment to change my life with a way that reduces daily anxiety,increases self-confidence and energy,extends life,and above all improves my body shape. This is the point where a smile ap?pears on my face as I look at myself in the mirror or try on my favourite pair of jeans that now fit just right. Its through commitment and sweat that I can make a difference within myself inside and out.
