Couch Potato

I am a couch potato… I would much rather sit and play solitaire, or sit and read or sit and watch nonsense on the television than actually get up and do something.  This is one of my challenges when it comes to the lifestyle changes I am making.

If you know me, you know how much I love to read.  I could read all day and not even realize the day has simply gone by.  In fact, I have done this. Spent the day in my pj’s, drank cup after cup of tea and read, then realize it has gone way beyond the supper hour.

This is one of the struggles I am facing. Finding the inspiration and the want-to to get up and workout. I need to find the workout that works best for me. I have done weight lifting using soup cans and am going to invest in some good weights. At least that way when I am in couch potato mode, I can sit and do the lifts to tone my arms and shoulders.

This is a journey towards changing my life, being a healthier me. I have a lot of support in my life right now and hope that all of my supporters continue to be with me while going through these changes. There will be times when I will want to quit and give up, but nothing that is worth keeping, is easy to obtain.

I hope that one day someone can look towards me and see me as an example and as a supporter as they take stock and want to change their life to be a healthier person.
