And now for something completely different: a goal

With 2 short months until my 30th high school reunion, I have been trying, without much success, to climb back on the wagon. I'm all about talk and no do, but this time I might have a good idea. I found an interesting run/walk for October, and I'm going to sign up for it. It's a 10k walk over the Columbia River. Jason seems leery, but I think it's doable.

Activity is usually the last to happen for me and first to go once I get off track. What I'm missing is finding something I enjoy doing. Failing that, I'll take a goal or something to work up to. I can walk. During our meeting last weekend, the leader was talking this up. It is true: walking is cheap and easy and anyone can do it. She also suggested climbing stairs. I found out that I can only climb my stairs at home for about 2.5 minutes. Surely a summer of training will not only make the 10k doable, but lose me some weight, too.

I also am trying to not fall into the same things that end up sabotaging my motivation. My friend just rejoined WW, and we used to have this thing that after the meeting we'd workout, and then go to Starbucks. Needless to say, we weren't just having point-free coffee. So bad launch to the week. This time, instead of eating there, we're going to get a low point coffee and walk around the neighborhood by the WW meeting. Hopefully this will help both of us start the week on a more positive and helpful foot.
