I am really missing doing active work. It was so nice to be able to eat what ever I want and also have the energy to do almost anything. In one year I have gone from super active wonder woman to a woman that actually has to force herself to anything besides go to the gym four times a week. I have started to get more active by taking more walks and doing manual labor like landscaping, etc. on the weekend. For my lunch break today I went and took a warm bath and then took Satine (my roommates black lab) for a half hour walk. It is beautiful outside, but I still had to force myself to get up off the couch. It was sad really, but a step in the right direction.
But, compared to my co-workers I AM active. That baffles me. I sit at a desk all day long; go to the gym and then play video games or watch foreign films with Paul. But my peers sit at desk all day and then go home and watch t.v. I don’t get how they can be like that. I don’t care about how much time a person has, you can always make physical activity a priority. I know people that get up an hour early to jog or walk during lunch break. Honestly, there is no excuse.
