Do SOMETHING.

Saturday - started off well, as I rode my bike to and from work since the weather was somewhat cool. Only about 10-minute bike ride at an easy pace, but it is movement :) Had good intentions of going for a nice long bike ride after work, but was sidetracked by my bed. . .for 3 hours. Did not bike after. Hm. Tomorrow?

Sunday - slept until 1:30pm WHOA! Woke up to heat. Did grocery shopping and came home and . . . napped. Whaaat? Yep. Did not bike, again.

Monday - school started today. For most students. I missed the memo about bus schedules changing for Summer School. Awesome. Ended up running some errands, going to talk to my therapist, and coming home with some extra time before heading to Apopka to visit some friends for supper and then continuing to Orlando to pick up TK from the airport.

I honestly contemplated a nap, but knowing myself, a) I didn't NEED it, b) I wouldn't get ANY movement in, and c) I would end up delaying or cancelling my visit with friends because I would want to keep sleeping.

Nope. This lady made a choice. Turned on Netflix and tuned into an episode of Desperate Housewives (something I don't reeeeally need concentrate on) and rolled out my yoga mat. I stretched and did some yoga poses for 20 minutes. Again, movement - nothing strenuous but did some strength and flexibility work. Then took the dog on a long-route-to-get-the-mail 10minute walk.

So, even though I didn't do a "hard workout", I got 30 minutes of movement in. Planning ahead, I asked my friends if I could bring the dog with tonight so that I could walk her again when it is cooler out (for both of us!) - hope to motivate myself for at least another 15-20 minute walk, even at easy pace. And honestly, even if I didn't bring the dog, I could do that after dinner, anyway - but bringing the dog is both an extra motivator and good for the canine, too!

Think about that the next time you have dinner with friends. Perhaps even a 10-minute walk around the block after a meal at a restaurant? Ideas to keep moving . . .
