Should I exercise today? I mean hey!…I have been doin’ good the last few days. I was thinking that I would skip my morning walk and just do one later this evening. My mind isn’t focused enough to walk. I really need to just chill, update my fb games, catch some TV, go pay RentACenter!, I even have to make a few calls. My day is tooo busy and I just don’t feel like walkin’ right now.
That’s how my day started. I had to convince myself that I even WANTED to walk! I wasn’t soar. I wasn’t sick. I wasn’t even in a rush to do anything. I was having a FAT MOMENT and didn’t wanna walk outside my door with the intent on making efforts toward exercise. Its hard to explain how a GROWN ASS MAN can sit and talk back and fourth with himself about something so simple. I did. I do. I will. But just like I did this morning, I have to make myself do things I may not even feel like doing. I had no excuse. I had to convice myself of that. I did get out. I did make myself go. & I will make myself go. Each time.
That’s my goal….to have victory over myself. I have to adopt a whole other mind set and its not gonna be easy. I didn’t give in this morning. Before I dragged myself into the street this morning I felt that this journey was about to turn ugly. I didn’t feel that the motivation that I needed was their. If it was their…It wasn’t strong enough. I was having a FAT MOMENT. That’s the moment where you start to realize that its not gonna be easy and you fix your sights on the negative parts of the process. I read 4 messages that were in my inbox that were COMPLETELY in support of me and my efforts. They appreciated the BG30 blog and it really made my morning. I was feeling all weird that people even read it…then to know that they care and are behind me gave me the energy to get out there today and make it do what it do! I did it with ease. Im on my way outside now to hit a block. Just glad that Im still motivated and in it for the fight. My heart is in it. My mind is all over the place. My body has no choice.
All comments are appreciated. Don’t hesitate to leave a note. If you see me outside walkin’….Join In!

Man, know that you are ahead of me, man. I have not exercised a lick, but I have skipped ice cream and eaten fruit instead this evening and ate mostly vegetables the last two days. Biggest deal is that I have not had a cheeseburger in five days. That is hard for me man. I love cheeseburgers and always will. I am changing my eating habits and gonna lose a few before I try to start walking. My knee hurts before I even leave my bedroom of a morning. I am proud of you BG. You keep this up, and you will have me eating your dust in our contest.
