Motivation must have been on vacation. I haven't seen him for about a week. He showed up this morning for a 2 hour walk. It was hard for me to be mad at him when he forced me to walk for 2 hours. I'm glad he's back. But where did he go? My guess is that without a motivating factor such as a race, he took a hike. He found someone else to bother.
See, I need a motivating factor. A health issue, a race, gaining 10 lbs. Without one of those, I don't want to exercise. With both my blood pressure and cholesterol levels within normal ranges, I haven't had the justification to exercise. Just as I'm explaining this to Motivation this morning, he puts his hand to my mouth and stops me from continuing. He asks me if it has ever occurred to me that the changes I've made in my diet and the increase in exercise have made my BP and cholesterol levels what they are today? Jeez! I don't know. Maybe. I just thought it was the medications.
Noooooooooo! He shouts. It's the whole combo. If I stop now, and take only the meds, the levels may not fall into normal range. OK. OK. I gotcha, Motivation. I'll just get my sneakers on and we'll get going. And that's exactly what we did.
He'll be returning tomorrow. He has threatened to go with me when I take Harper to school. His plan is to make sure I hit the pavement shortly after the drop-off.
Be careful what you wish for. :)

You are right. Time to get off the damn computer and get on the treadmill. Excuses, excuses. :)
I'm still waiting for him to visit me :)
