It was a challenge that caught my eye... seven minutes for seven days, and I thought that was do-able for me.
Later years I only managed to workout during the holidays and summer, and it was depressing when I went back to work because I just didn't have the energy to do more than my job. I was gaining weight (which just made it even harder for me to move), and I was too tired to do a lot of anything.
It took an embarrassing amount of time for me to understand/ accept the issues. It was when I was on my way back from the emergency room in July that I realised I couldn't do both. I can't work and do all the things I believe I need to do to get healthy. I couldn't eat, sleep or even exercise properly.
So I made a choice. I chose me.
I still have a bunch of things to sort out but I know what I need to do. So doing one thing at a time, I will eventually get there. 
I am already doing well with nutrition and sleep, so it's the exercise I need to get established now. I really do want to exercise every day, but I will have to be careful for a while.
I had Lucy in mind for when I was ready to start. Her exercise videos have grown in number and inclusiveness. From five to fifteen minute programs, seated, mobility and somatic workouts there seems to be no limit to what Lucy is willing to try just to reach everyone.
Now that I have been given clearance to exercise I will be using Lucy's workouts to begin with. Starting with this one:
I am cautiously optimistic and hopeful for what Lucy calls "your future health."
