not be discouraged by the words of others.

Today, I decided that I was going to exercise and play DDR. I did for 15 minutes and then went to take a shower and eat lunch. I came up with a plan that I would exercise many times during the week for shorter amounts of time so that I would be motivated to actually do it, knowing that it wasn’t that much time to have to workout. I told my husband about my plan and felt criticized rather than supported because he started telling me about how he would do it and that I would have to work out for at least 30 minutes at a time to see any results. I felt discouraged, because I wanted him to be excited with me that I finally had the motivation to start working out. But now I don’t want to do anything.
I took some time to think about it and decided that he can say whatever he wants. I don’t have to listen or take his advice. I am my own person and he doesn’t have to support me, when I can get support elsewhere. I would love to have someone in my area that would be a workout buddy with me, even if it was just to walking a couple times a week.
