Arguing with Myself (rant)

Aug 11, 2014

Exercise.  The demon gym.  That pretty much sums up how I feel about it. While I was an athlete in my younger days somehow it never seemed hard.  Now, sweating is something to be avoided.  Some of this is just absolute avoidance: sweating became a daily even as the weight piled on.  Foot and leg problems slowed me down and became an excuse. Menopause is still causing random cycles and out of control bleeding - and yet another excuse.

But I feel so much better now - 35 lbs gone and walking is suddenly easier.  Surgery last October helped the foot, the knees are not complaining as much. There is help on the horizon for the menstrual cycles.  But I'm still not walking as long as I could.  And the pool is calling my name but for some reason I don't drive other (2 miles away) and jump in.  And I LOVE the water - and when I'm in it all my worries float away.

So what's the excuse today?    Absolutely none....
