How hard is it to go for a walk?

For me at the minute - very. It's ridiculous. I keep coming up with excuses:
- I'm too big and heavy.
- People will see me.
- I'll sweat.
- I'm tired
- I feel really sluggish.
- What if I need to go to the toilet half way from home?
- I have no energy.


Now most of those of those problems will be solved by actually going for the walk. (OK 'people will see me' and the toilet one won't). I know walking will help with me feeling big and heavy. I know sweating and moving will create energy for me in the long run. I know all this, but I've allowed myself to become lazy.

I need to put some prompts in place to get this moving. And most especially, I need to do it now that Al has moved in. Always before, I'd put off exercising when he was home because I wanted to spend time with him. Well we live together now, so I need to exercise while he's there as well as at other times. I need to set my life up to accomodate exercise, be prepared for it, get moving on it.

Not quite base my life around it, but make it so it is as easy to exercise as it is not to. Go back to the days when I planned my food every week and I sorted things out for myself.

In fact, I'm going to do that now - plan my food for the week and get things started. If I do the shopping tonight, then there's no excuse!!!
