Sometimes

sometimes when I'm alone it may take some big pumping of myself up when the task


is on my shoulders completey to own and complete. That is how I have to think about it...


I got myself out the door to exercise and go for a walk. I need to lose a good 10lbs.


Once I got out there it was beautiful and I relaxed in the sunshine and blue skies.


sometimes it's almost like I know the truth and then it feels like 'mark contra mundi'.


And I need to pump up my strength to follow through and so it's almost like


I wrap things up in a motivating way to get on my horse and ride. AKA


follow through! :)

Don't forget you have a cheering section here. : ) Perhaps you could set goals, and we could provide some support (and, in a way, accountability) as you work to achieve them. Just a thought....

Thanks ladybug!! Good idea!! I need to walk a mile every day! My aunt said she will text or call ! I really appreciate you being willing to also hold me accountable! I’m pretty reliable when I commit to something and having the support will be extra good!! Thanks!!

Walking is so great! I know I could lose weight, but it’s not an easy feat in my situation so I’ve been trying to live comfortably. Do you use the health app on an iphone? Measuring steps and miles each day is so motivating!!!!

Walking a mile every day sounds like a great goal! When do you plan on getting started?

Good job, Mark! If you're like me and the other 2 people on the planet who don't have a Smart Watch, download the Pacer app. It makes walking more fun! It tracks calories, pace, time, distance, etc. and is very user friendly. Have a great walk today!
