Day 6

Late entry-I had no access to internet yesterday (is that even possible?!)..Anyway, I wrote some bullet points down to remember to talk about.
More and more I realize how much of a lifestyle change is required to become healthy and active. Yesterday (day 6), I had a birthday party to go to for my grandpa (90 years old!!). There were cakes, cookies, chips, everywhere! I stayed by the veggie and fruit tray, but I managed to eat a big piece of carrot cake (healthy right? carrots?).
Anyway, I felt completely exhausted that evening. I wanted to stay on the couch and read, but I made myself get up and get active. It took about an hour of convincing myself before I left the couch. But I did it!
Fortunately for me, my sister's dog needed a walk so I took him to the park. We ran and we played. I didn't worry about time or kilometres. I just went for it. I found a bench and did push-ups and tricep dips. I used the space around the bench to do some more core exercises while intermittently throwing the dog's stick into the creek. It worked out great for both of us, plenty of exercise! I need to keep reminding myself how good I feel after exercising. But it still seems to be hard to stay motivated.
