Did Weight Watcher's Really Say I Had to Exercise?

This morning I couldn't mall walk because I had to read my chapter before class, and also I had to clean the basement. Anyway, I had two very good reasons why I couldn't go mall walking. However, as I was reading Angie All The Way's Blog. She talked about her commitment to fitness, and how no matter what obstacles got in the way, she was going to make sure she worked out. This got me thinking about my reasons for not walking today, which actually were excuses. I thought about this all day, and when I got home from school tonight at 10pm, I finally made myself do a workout video. I felt like this was the right decision. I didn't want to workout, but I did it any way.

I usually mall walk for about an hour at a time, three to four days a week. There is much more I will need to do to lose all these pounds. However, I feel resistant to the idea of increasing my fitness load, at this point in time. I know that at 180 pounds I want to start running again. This is actually going to be one of my rewards for myself. (By 180, there's hope these legs can carry my body as it runs down the road) I think I need to ease into it gradually, with more specific goals regarding fitness. Also, I'm going to have commit to doing it at home when I can't go to the mall. (I have a gym membership which is a total waste because it hogs up way to much time) So, my plan is to think about where/when/how much fitness I should be doing.

Good for you for doing squeezing in a workout tonight! At the end of the day, it's so hard to do that for me. That's a victory in iteself!
