Well it has been a week.
Yes, I went to the gym today. Now the gym I go to has three levels. I headed to the upper level, where the treadmills, elliptical machines, bikes and a circuit weight training area are. And wouldn’t you know it, the escalator up was broken. I found myself grumbling about having to walk up the “non-moving” stairs …until I got to the top and saw the “stair steppers”. Then I had to laugh. Why is it that one can pay for a membership to a gym? Drive there and try to park as close as possible so we don’t have to walk very far. Then take an elevator or escalator to a level where we can get on a machine that has a moving walkway so we can run in place or stairs that rotate so we can climb and get no where.
It seems that this attitude is one that has contributed to the need to keep this weight. If I had an appointed time and place then I could work at losing the excess. But if I couldn’t budget the membership, or I had to park too far away, or blah, blah, blah, then I would just wait until the time was right and then I would get to it. When the time was right I would lose these extra pounds of stored energy and the world would see the real Me at my healthy, ideal weight. Seems like the time had never been just right or the escalator was always broken, or I couldn’t find parking or …..
Until this time. This is the right time for me. If the escalator is not moving, I will just step it up and laugh when I get to the top. Change the attitude, change my world.
