Motivated by Guilt

I was talkin' with AW this morning and, well, she made me feel a little guilty. This week I didn't work out nearly as much as I have been.

Now, I will be honest enough with you to admit that I was probably obsessing a bit on that. Before this past week every free second I had, even when I was on the phone, I'd jump on that little stair machine. IT ROCKS folks. While it's not one of those big fancy machines, it more than does the job. As long as I can keep my balance (watch the smart ass remarks!) it is very effective.

So, I'd be on that SEVERAL times a day, and the minimum I would allow myself was equal to 4 flights of stairs. They say 15 steps is a flight, and I consider a flight up AND down, so that would be 30 complete steps. Times 4. A bunch of times during the day.

And let's not forget the gym I've got in the basement. Oh, yeah, that was used 5 times a week steady.

Like I said - I was sort of obsessing about it. But I was seeing a difference. And that just motivated me even more. I mean come on now......surely more is better, faster.

But I lost the focus a bit last week. Missed complete days. AW asked if I worked out any yesterday, and knowing that she had walked 2 hours in the heat and humidity she is dealing with I was ashamed of myself. I had no excuse.

So when we got off the phone I jumped on my little stepy thingy. Put on some hard driving music and away I went. And went. And went. Holy Crap. I really need to learn moderation.

But I feel better. And yes, I'll probably jump on later this afternoon when I get antsy watchin' football.

Cause it makes me feel better.

And I'm seein' a difference.

And I don't want to admit I've been lazy............
