The problem of course is the “wanting” to do it. Especially now that the summer heat and humidity is bearing down on us in North Carolina.

Your mantra is a very good one.

WHENEVER is better than NEVER.

Amen to that.

I started a walking regimen, then stopped it, need to restart.

I have lumps of lard that need to leave. I ended up gaining about 4 lbs over the last two months because i’ve been very busy at work, and you guessed it! It involves sitting and staring at a computer.

My trainer said for me to drink a pint of water upon rising and go for a 30-40 minute walk. Daily would be ideal, but at least three times a week or every other day. I started before Christmas, then stopped, started, stopped. Lather, rinse, repeat.

If i woke up late, then i didn’t get the walk done before work and i’d shrug and tell myself i’d try next day. Finally, it got through my thick cranium that if i simply walked WHENEVER, it would be better than walking NEVER. Duh.

So, last night, i walked after dinner. I have a 2.5 mile route that has a couple of hills, and it’s a good time for me to prayerwalk or meditate. I’m not much of a morning person, and since i’ve given myself permission to walk WHENEVER, i’ve done it more often. I’m still in the “getting back to it” stage, and missed this morning as i awoke a bit late and then got a phone call. But i figure at lunch or after work is better than never. So, for now, my exercise mantra is
WHENEVER is better than NEVER.
