I really really want to be able to run! Imagine how useful it would be. How fit I would feel! Unfortunately the exercising thing is turning out to be requiring more will-power than I currently contain. It just seems that everyday there is a new excuse not to exercise. Todays was that the skies looked awfully grey and that I didn’t want to get rained on. What will tomorrows be?
Perhaps tomorrow it will be too cold. It could be too hot. I could be too tired. I might not have any clean workout pants. I might wake up too late. I might have other stuff that I have to do first. I might have another of my mysterious sore throats which only last for about an hour after waking up. I might not have any spare time.
Yeah right.
I think the only thing that is stopping me exercise is me! I really need to get over my excuses and harness that will-power that I’m sure is somewhere in me.
I’m pointedly avoiding talking about the weekend that was. Unless people really want to hear about my total fall from grace which included mcdonalds….. twice…..
What helps me is excercise in small doses. Like half an hour in the morning, half an hour in the evening. I have a stationary bike at home, so I don’t have to go out into the rain, wear a clean workout outfit or worry too much about my schedule. Not that all of the above makes me excercise more, of course, but I don’t mind that much, because hating myself over something so trivial would be silly ;o) P.S. Going to McD’s does not make you a bad person!
hey…kind of randomly ran into your blog..read this post and just wanted to say that will power is a myth. Exercise is something you do without thinking about it, its like setting up an appointment and keeping it. I just plan what i will do and then I refuse to think about it or it doesnt happen! Just do it!
with jogging I dont recommend just jumping into it. You need to build up your stamina first, start off by walking and then power walking before jogging. I love jogging. When I started I couldnt walk for more than 5 mins, now I jog for half an hour at a time…
