For three or four months now I have found it very hard to find the motivation, time and excuse to do some form of exercise and this is no good. One can’t keep saying that tomorrow is the day.

It is time for action and find my way again.

I do not know where my “MoJo has gone. Hopefully it just on holiday and not lost for good. I pray to God its not because I am lapsing back into depression as that is the last place anyone wants to find themselves in.

Yes I could free up some space so I can get to my bicycle or go for a jog instead of watching a film but I don’t and that my friends is very sad.

Its not that I am depressed it is just that life seems to be getting in the way, it is raining or (as at present) I am struck down by hayfever.

I also know that leaving things so long will mean there is a lot of pain and uncomfort to come. However, some reports say that exercising regularly is fine but as soon as one stops then the problems occur.

This has go me thinking as without exercise I am putting weight on. So maybe changing my diet would be better that trying to kid myself I can still run, cycle and do the gym thing. But there lays the rub. I am crap at producing healthy food options and even when I do I am left feeling more hungry than I was without having a meal in the first place.

Anyhow, without exercise the body will decay and become a useless husk.

I know I walk many miles at work but experts say that it is virtually meaningless unless I go at a pace where I am out of breath and my heart rate increases. I cannot do this whilst reading addresses, stopping to undo gates and knocking on doors. However, after work I feel shattered both physically and mentally and the idea of exercising then is just too much and would probably cause me more problems. See, yet another excuse!

I hate being fat, I loath the symptoms of hayfever, I abhor my love of food without the skill to make it healthy and I have disdain for all the aches and pains that ensue with age.

“So get up and do something about it you arse!”

One possibility is to take the initiative and go to a local gym and take advantage of some low impact routines and fit it in, whatever, around work and sleep. The staff are there to help motivate and set suitable plans too.

I have to do something as clothes are getting a little tight and that is just not good as I am not funding a new wardrobe around a bigger me. I must fit around what I have.

This must be the case for many others out there and I can only say this. We are not alone and for the vast majority there is a cure.

Put down the TV remote and game console controller, resist buying the crisps, chocolate and cakes, change your routine and look for others in the same position for support. This is my aim and I certainly will strive to do so.

I do not want to have the body of an old wreck of a man with a young mind so changes must be put into place and a plan of action put down.

I wish myself and all the very best of luck and I hope to have some positive feedback very soon. September heralds my 52nd year so I am setting my goal for then to see a new Frog.

….Think Positive and Attain the Results….
