Tim is a good exercise boy

I’ve been a good boy the past few days - 1.5 miles on Monday, 1.1 miles on Tuesday 1.5 glorious miles on Wednesday.

I know I’m being good when I make my wife angry about my exercise :-). She wanted to go out to eat after my daughter’s soccer game Tuesday night, and I refused so I could walk.

Good Tim.

For me, exercise has to be a habit, part of my daily routine done at roughly the same time of day, every day. A couple times a week doesn’t work because I soon find myself negotiating ‘which’ days to exercise, and procrastinaing - “oh, I’ll do it tomorrow instead”. When I’ve lost my focus in the past, it’s always been because I was going through a busy period where I was forced to prioritize other activities. It’s the old law of physics: A body in motion tends to stay in motion; a body at rest tends to stay at rest.

I set the minimum threshold for my daily exercise of 20 minutes works. I usually do more, but making that commitment helps me focus on getting out the door. Good for week’s like this, where I’m actually doing 40 hrs of work like the rest of the world. It is one of only 2 weeks each year that I have to work like this, which is why the blogs have gotten short shrift the past few days. It’s also why I’m doing this.

But, I’m being a good boy as far as exercise goes. How about you?

    Ok besides the obivious diet and exercise answer, what are some acceptable agency like plan out account or things that you accept approved yourself to advice you lose weight?

Got something to say?
