When I first began this blog last August, I hoped that writing a blog about exercising and getting back in shape might just give me the motivation I needed. Of course, that didn't work. I exercised for two weeks and wrote four blog posts. I stopped exercising because I had a bad cold and just couln't exercise. But once I recovered from the cold, I didn't start exercising again. Oh, I thought about it from time to time, but mostly gave in to depression and ordered pizzas. I even set start dates, but always found some excuse to not start on the date and to eat more pizza. Fortunately, I am still riding my bicycle to work and back home many of the days that I work so all the pizzas and junk food didn't add more weight.
Ah, of course, exercising was so much simpler back when I taught exercise. Then I never had to worrying about being or staying motivted or what I ate. But once the job ended, so did my desire and motivation to workout at all. I've started this blog again because I plan to start exercising again. I was motivated by a conversation last month with a good friend. We were talking about depression and she asked what I really enjoyed doing. I told her that I enjoyed, but hadn't been writing. I also told her that the job I enjoyed most was teaching aerobics and group exercise. I told her that I wanted to get back to exercise but I just couldn't seem to get motivated. I keep sitting in front of the television watching reruns of reuns. She said that I needed to get myself up and exercise. I really do want to do that. I've already missed yet another start date. But I don't have to miss another one!
