Life can be full of excuses. They didn't have time to eat right or exercise. They will run tomorrow when the weather is nicer. Making a salad is too time consuming in the morning than just buying a burger at work. The weather is making their joints stiff so they will wait until it gets warmer outside. They will take that trip next year.
We all do it. We talk ourselves out of or into doing things. And life is a total sum of all of those choices. And about balance.
Yes, once in awhile eat the burger at work. But on that day walk or run for a little while to burn off the extra calories. It is okay, don't go out running when it is raining or snowing. On that day jump on the trampoline while watching TV. Join the Y or somewhere you can swim to move those stiff aching joints. You can eat the pancakes for breakfast if you grab the leash and take the dog out for a walk around the park. Walk around flea markets, walk around tourist attractions, just get out there and walk. Or run. Or skip rope. Or go bowling. Or fly a kite. Or hunt for shells on a beach. Or rake leaves. Or take a class. Or paint something. You get the idea.
You should just do it.
