Walking on Wednesday ~ Excuses
As you may have guessed if you are a follower, I have not been keeping up with my workout schedule.
You may have noticed I stopped writing about running and walking, stopped posting my workouts, stopped talking about it altogether!
Well, you are right. I have slacked. Big time.
I did manage 2 workouts last week, but I barely remember them. They were at the beginning of the week, then I didn't go at all the rest of the week.
This week, I am NOT off to a good start. Haven't been at all.
I know, you are saying 'well it's early in the week yet'.
Yes, but tomorrow is supposed to be COLD! Chance of snow.
Yuck.
Plus, I have SO much to do, I just haven't had the time to spare.
Yes, this is an excuse. I know.
But I successfully have talked myself out of getting out there several days now. I reasoned that the time it takes to walk (or run) plus the necessary shower afterwards was just too much! I could accomplish so much on my list in that time.
Lame. Yes.
So here I sit wondering if I should walk downtown to pick up dinner. Probably should. Maybe I will!
Or maybe I will just drive so I can accomplish more of the things that have to be done before I get too tired.....
Or maybe you just don't care.
I know you don't ~ we all are responsible for our own excuses.
I wouldn't care to hear excuses either, our actions are all up to each of us.
Don't be lazy, keep going, keep trying and MOVE IT!
I will now take my own advice.

I care. Go take a walk. You'll feel better for it and you'll accomplish more in the long run. I've been struggling with the same thing... I was running 3 days a week but the snow has made that -challenging- and I'm not pushing it because I don't want to slip and hurt my ankle again. So I'm sort of a wimp!
ReplyDeleteawww, thanks Dakota!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes feel I complain too much, and that I share too much.
Be careful with that ankle!!
It's not being wimpy, it's being smart. Take it easy.
