Exercise comes in all forms for me. I would much rather do retail therapy, than some workout video. Yes it's easier to access the accessory counter than any exercise equipment.
These cold shut-in days make me feel guilty tho and my conscience tells me to do something. The freezing temperatures diminish any desire to hit the stores, even with good sales. So I gave in today. I had Karla help me do my standing exercise machine. I haven't been on it in several months but I was proud of myself for the 8 minutes I did accomplish.
We all have that little voice inside of us urging us to do what we should. We hear what we want to and follow thru when we want to too. If only we could bottle up that good feeling after we've exercised and drink it when it's time to do it again.
Okay. The mall opens at 7 for walkers. I'm going to try to brave the elements and go walk. It's a mall, right?
ReplyDeleteI started my walking back at the Tom Harmon Center on January 2. I also started a physical therapy program for my neck at UAMS twice a week for 12 weeks. Needed something to get me motivated. So glad I can report to you that I am "active" again after your post today. I would have been feeling really "lazy". Heading to the gym.....let's roll....or at least walk! Love you, T.
ReplyDeleteYaaah angie i am so happy for you and proud of you! It makes me think of the little boy riding a bike speech. If you haven't seen it just punch in "motivational speech by little boy riding bike". Its so cute. And dont worry about the sales, they will be better when this freezing weather passes!
