Once again, I've gotten the "I need to be more active and healthy" bug. Yes, this is the millionth time since 2004, but you don't understand. This time I MEAN it. No, really. THIS time I don't really have an excuse NOT to start an exercise regimen. Last year the excuse was...um...well I didn't really have one, but that's not the point...
I told Chris a couple of months ago that I wanted 2007 to be a very active year. I want to go hiking, camping, bicycling, etc, etc, etc. I hate exercising in a gym. If I'm going to get healthy, I have to do it in a setting that is pleasing to the eye. Watching myself get flushed and winded in a mirror directly in front of a treadmill is NOT pleasing. Who thought THAT was a good idea? "Hey, let's force people to watch how their bodies jiggle when they walk!" I get the whole tough love thing, but that's not motivating to me. That makes me want to stop the workout and throw myself a pity-party catered by Haagen-Dazs.
So, J, what are you doing to accomplish your goal of being more active, you ask? Well, for starters, I'm thinking *really* hard about how I can be more active. Baby steps, people, baby steps.
Actually, I'm doing little things everyday that don't amount to much right now, but the wheels are in motion. Speaking of which, we just got our bikes back from getting tune-ups so we'll being biking more. I want to try for at least 4 days/wk - like after dinner - with one of those days being a nice, long ride on the weekend. Also, I'm parking WAY farther away from stores and work so I have to walk more. Oh yeah, and I'm walking Prince more (we both need the exercise!).
So there you have it. Now that I've publically announced that I'll be getting more exercise in my life, I'm hoping that gives me the much-needed push to really do it. Wish me luck...or don't. Whatever. I'm not doing this for you anyway. :-P
