STILL “trying” to walk twice a day —
After having some difficulty motivating my body to rise early enough to beat the heat, I AM getting my morning walk back into a routine. I tell myself, I REALLY want to walk in the evening too. So, what’s my problem?
Any suggestions, folks, in terms of motivation?
I feel like my feet are planted in cement. The reality is, I DON’T WANT TO DO IT! I feel like a spoiled child, stomping my feet and screaming “I’m not going.” It’s absurd. Just do it! — I tell myself, to no avail.
Yes, I’m feeling positive about my morning walks, but this inability to move my butt, as the sun is setting, is making me nuts! It’s a choice, a bad choice, that I keep repeating. Yet, I know — deep down to my core — that there’s nothing better I can be doing for myself than walking. Experience has taught me that walking is a great way to shed that belly fat and it does wonders in bringing down my blood sugar numbers. So, what’s my problem???
I need an attitude adjustment. Seriously. C’mon, Kathy. Get it together, MOVE YOUR BUTT! It’s just a matter of developing a habit — a good one. Grabbing my sneakers, again…and moving along. One day at a time!
Thanks for listening. Hey, let me know your exercise regimen. Are you a walking fiend???
Hmmmm. I’m pretty sure you can do this, if you set your mind to that adjustment you mentioned! If you want help with accountability, please join us over at The Power of Practice group on Facebook. We’d love to have you! https://www.facebook.com/groups/1044956392205101/

I am a walking fiend, I begin each and every day with a walk, this summer though it was a real challenge for me. For some reason the heat and humidity bothered me so many a day I found myself in the gym walking the treadmill.
I think you will get motivated to do the second walk, it takes time to make a change and we can be stubborn, I add an evening walk a few times a week but it wan’t easy at first. Good Luck.
