I really want to go walking again, but it’s like the fourth circle of Hell out there. I’d end up face down in my own pile of puke, waiting for some super fit runner to stumble upon me and call 911. Even if I managed to walk an hour without passing out, the glaring sun would at least guarantee that I spend the night with a horrible headache. My apartments have a small fitness room but there are always big scary guys in there. No thanks.
Since I started this diet, a small annoying voice has been whispering in my ear. What it suggests is ridiculous. Nearly impossible – and I’ve told it that! But the stupid whispering won’t stop. “Get up at 4:45 and go walking”, It says. That’s just insane. I’m not going to get out of my warm bed, change out of my warm jammies, and go exercise. Only athletes and weird fitness freaks do that. Besides, it’s still incredibly humid outside. I’ll be covered in sweat when I get back and if I take a shower, it might make me late for work (yes I do shower, just normally I do it at night) .Then the list of reasons NOT to get up early and exercise starts piling up. It’s not practical. I’m not training for a marathon. I can wait a few months for it to cool down and then resume walking at nights like I used to.
But that voice won’t shut up.
So I figured tomorrow I will get up super early and walk 50 minutes. I’m sure all the reasons why I didn’t want to do it will become apparent and I will be able to tell that voice I TOLD YOU SO. And then it will go away and leave me alone until the weather gets cooler.
……Right?
