Journaling in January - Day 27

Journaling in January - Day 27
"Those who think they have no time for bodily exercise
will sooner or later have to find time for illness."
~Edward Stanley
A very fast page done just before sleeping. I have been thinking how unfit and inflexible I became. I sit in the car, work 8 hours sitting in front of a computer, then go back home and excluding some chores (where I have to stand) sit some more... before I lie down to sleep. I used to be very active and would like to bring that back to my days. Tomorrow my brand new, shiny and beautiful treadmill will arrive!!!!! I am going to play games and bribe myself to use it. Feeling more fit already! xo

    Oh dang, this page is so good. And I knew exactly what you were all about with it.
    Does this mean I've gotta get on mine and meet you half way?

    This is a great post in more ways than one. I love your colors and the quote hit home for me. Good luck with the treadmill...you have a good attitude about it. xo

    WOW! I really like this page! And the words, congrats on your new treadmill. It sounds like you are well on your way: Here is a 'game' that works for me sometimes:

    Say to yourself "I GET to walk on the treadmill" vs. "I HAVE TO walk on the treadmill" It's a subtle thing but it does work. LOL

    I love this work! And I love the idea of a treadmill.... good luck with that! Do you think you could get on the treadmill and paint at the same time? That would keep you using it forever!

    Lovely responses to Misty's prompts....every one!

    I stand all day and even though my feet may hurt I am glad I have to move around my classroom. Sitting at a computer all day gives me migraines so that would never work. I've heard of people installing applications that pop up on their screens periodically and remind them to stretch. Sounds like a good thing to me!
    Health is key and life is less productive without it...and bribing yourself is super important.

    Hey Z! Time to step off the treadmill and come back to your blog. Holly had a good idea...do you have a canvas strapped to the treadmill?
    Not giving you a hard time...just missing your posts.
