"Turn Around!"

"Don't feel sorry for yourself if you have chosen the wrong road--turn around!"

It's time for me to "turn around".  Yep, I've been a slacker this year.  There I said it!  Not that I didn't get a lot accomplished this year.  There were so many projects to oversee around the house....some transitions to help with.  But, plain and simple,  I got out of the habit of working out...I just couldn't get revved up about it, like I did before.  Having a son's wedding as an incentive in 2013 certainly helped.   Yep,  I'm committing to become more fit in 2015.   Maybe by writing it down for all to read will be incentive enough.  Hope so!

Really, I haven't been a total slouch...  My walking friend is a beast and wouldn't allow it...making me get up and out walking at 7:00 or 7:30 in the morning, year round!  Armed with flashlights, we haven't let the time change alter our schedule, either.  We solve all the problems of the world while getting a nice workout to start our day.  My legs are fit but I'm thinking I need more now.  Did you know one of the biggest problems, as we age, is a lack of arm strength?  Your legs can function like an NFL running back but if you can't lift yourself out of a chair, what good are those legs???

I think there's a direct correlation between my addiction to Facebook and blogging and my lack of fitness.  It's so relaxing...catching up on everyone's lives and writing about mine.  But I'm going to try to strike a balance in 2015.  Walking, blogging, working out at the gym...  I'm ready  to stop "feeling sorry for myself if I've chosen the wrong road.  It's time to turn around".
