Gotta git ‘er done
So, I am tired of feeling like death warmed over. I’m tired of aching all over. I’m tired of being stiff after sitting for only a few minutes. I’m tired of being tired all the time.
I need motivation. I know the answer to most of what ails me is exercise. I’ve almost got the food thing down – well… kinda sorta. I mean, I don’t order big belgian waffles with strawberries and whipped cream on them for breakfast anymore, nor do I drink smoothies that have 5 servings of fruit and enough sugar in them to send me into a diabetic tailspin. But I still tend to overeat and enjoy snacks in more than moderation. Like Nutter Butter peanut butter cookies. Yum. And I can’t eat just three of them. Once I have them, I tend to binge. It’s like drinking beer. The first one tastes just okay. But by beer number three, I’m ready for six more. (Why I don’t drink beer anymore.)
Why does it have to be so hard? I think I had an easier time quitting smoking than I am having quitting all my bad habits that are contributing to my overall heath issues.
Maybe I’ll post every day just to reflect on the all the swill running around in my head.
Edited to add: I wrote this yesterday but forgot to post it. I changed the date on it to reflect the day I wrote it.

if I could scream THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS, I would. I wholeheartedly agree. It was so easy to quit smoking compared to not indulging in the foods I like and trying to move my butt. I need to make a change before I follow in my grandmother’s diabetic footsteps! *raises a glass to you*
Best of luck!
@teefahknee - Wouldn’t it be great if all the running you had to do in WoW before level 20 counted as real exercise? I’d be really fit!
@SherylM - I joked with my guildies that I needed a computer treadmill…and only if I were walking at a steady 3.0mph pace (not enough to jostle me but steady work) would WoW work.
@teefahknee - LOL I’ve thought that on more than one occasion. I’d need turbo shocks for my keyboard and mouse, though, so I would still play while bouncing up and down with my walking.
