Way to go Matthew! Walking is always fun when you have someone along to talk with! You don't even realize how far you've gone! If you have to walk alone, try listening to music... honestly, it really helps!
I know for me, motivating myself to exercise, is actually harder than the exercise itself! Once I get going, I love it. Like you, I can find excuses why I can't/don't have time to do it. Mine is... but I worked 13 hours today, or I've had a bad day, or I'm tired ~ I've got a handful that I catch myself using when I'm just looking for an excuse! But honestly, we can take 30 minutes a day to focus on our health. Walk away from the computer, get off the couch, turn off the tv... and get your butt moving! **yep, I'm giving a pep talk to myself, too**
After my 13 hour workday yesterday (at 9pm), I came home & found my honey dressed for the gym. She said, "come on boo... let's go workout." I started to whine, but then got my ass dressed and we headed to the gym. Luckily, our gym is open 24 hours... so see, no excuse there. I did 25 minutes on the eliptical & treadmill and 15 minutes using some arm/leg weights. Less than one hour we were home.... but managed to get in a great workout! I was still showered & in bed at the same time ~ I just didn't veg out in front of the tv.
Something told me to weigh again this morning. So, I weighed. I might have gained 1 pound as of yesterday, but I lost 2 pounds today! YAY for 1 more pound gone forever!
Anyway, I hope that everyone has a great weekend and remember to keep up the great work! Y'all are motivating me to kick it up a notch!
