Why? Why wait for someone or something else to help me?

Yesterday, I wrote about crossfit.  I had a crush on a wrestler who uses crossfit to get into shape.  The truth is, I need to get into shape, no matter if it is walking or if it is dancing.  It has been a while since I have exercised.  Well, it has been a while since  I have walked.  I feel ashamed of myself since I don't exercise.  It has been months since I have done any exercise.  I feel like I have to start all over again.  However, the real problem is sticking to an exercise regimen.  On the other hand, maybe I should stop worrying and obsessing about wanting to exercise and just exercise.  Waiting just hasn't done me any good.  So now, I realize that I have to start to exercise, but for me.  I don't need to do this for my health.  I need to do this for me.  I need to know and to see what I can do.  I am the one who needs to lose weight, however,  how do I need to overcome being obsessed with losing the weight?  That is a question I wish I could answer myself.

Crossfit? Inspiration? Yes.

I admit that I had no idea what I was going to write about.  Oh yes, it is about my lack of exercise.  I weigh over 280, which is a good beginning, so that is where I am at so far.  Since I started the program, I lost almost five pounds within the last few weeks.  The weight loss has been slow, but so far, so good.  I have not taken it seriously on the outside, but so far, I am doing crossfit.  The question is, what am I waiting for?

Too short is life

I think it is time for me to exercise.  I am a diabetic and it has been past time to do do.  Now I realize that I have waited too long.  I have made too many excuses.  Life is just too short not for me to take care of myself.

"Kissing Strangers" --DNCE and Nicki Minaj


I have only begun to listen to it this morning and I love it.  I haven't been able to stop playing.  This song reminds me that it is time to let it go.  Just let it go and quit complaining.  If I wish to do something just do it.  Express yourself but don't overdo it to the point of literal ad nauseum.  That is what I spend many of my days doing.  It is now time to start doing so.
