It’s about not sitting down.

It’s about not sitting down.

Recently I have been trying to get my exercising back to what it was. Some days I manage, other days not so much. Today I realised why, I sit down! Now that might seem like a thing to be accepted and expected, but it is not the actual sitting it’s about when I sit.

One example: I come in from work, and my work is not physically demanding and is not a full time commitment, so I don’t come back exhausted. I come in, kick off my shoes, take off my work clothes, often getting into my gym wear, and then…I sit down. I need to check my emails, look at my business social media, look at the news, play a couple of games or some nonsense or, even worse, look at my personal social media. Before I know it an hour has passed, I’m looking at someone trying on clothes, and my bottom has well and truly settled. What to do? I make lists, promises to myself, and ask beloved to ask me the question: “Aren’t you going to exercise?” Unfortunately, I rip up, or redo, lists, justify breaking promises and my beloved loves me enough to know I beat myself up more with no results, than anything he could ever say.

So today I’m going to try making the couch seem less comfortable and inviting. I initially thought of setting up a trap but I have no doubt I would break a nail doing it and I would then be doubly irritated with myself. Then I thought I could leave a spiky hair clip exactly where I sit but that would easy to deal with, I’d probably just use it to pin up my hair. So now I’m in a quandary. What to do? Now one thing I do know is that I do some of my best thinking when I exercise so I am going to count exercise time as “thinking time” Give myself a problem or issue to think about and start the session.

Will it work? I don’t know but it is worth a try. I may run out of issues to think about but that won’t happen for a while and, by then, I’ll be back in the swing. Wish me luck, I’m standing up and I have my issue to think about, I’m going in!
