Despite the risk of jinxing this, I'm going to tell y'all what I did yesterday.
I wrote words. 1558 of them to be exact. Which puts Duke Noble #3 at just over 3000 words. It's a start. No promises. No judging. Just write the words. Every day.
I also exercised. Not walked... exercised. 5 minutes dancing (which freaked the cats out... like 'eek! hide! mama's having a spastic fit' or something), 4 minutes doing regular exercises, 4 minutes more dancing and then walking around the house to get my heart rate back to normal*.
I told you all I just needed to give myself a good talking to.
Now, I just have to keep it up. I'm shooting for 1500 words a day but any words will do. And I'm aiming at ramping up the exercising until I'm back to my old stamina - walk = 1.6 miles 3 or 4 times a week, exercise = 20/10/20 on the days I'm not walking.
No excuses. I need this for both my mental and my physical health. Lord knows, I'm not getting any younger. If I don't want to end up as an old lady sitting in a chair watching the world go by, or drooling on myself in a corner, I have to do something to make that not happen. This is it.
Join me, if you're able.
*Safer than just stopping on the exercise. You've got to ease your heart up and then ease it back down again.
I resemble that second part. I need to follow your lead. I keep putting on pounds despite not changing my eating habits. I know it's because I've gotten sedantary. Too hot outside so I need to follow your lead and exercise in the house. Writing? Yeah, lets not go there. But I need to get off the pot and produce words.
