Well, I made a commitment to myself a few days ago that I was going to start walking regularly again. I got started yesterday, walking about 1 mile. Today, though, I had to make a change of plans! It has been pouring down rain, at least moderate rain, since yesterday morning. No signs of it letting up, either.
So, due to the weather, I had to change my plans for walking today. After I finish writing this, I will ride my stationary bike for a while, tough, in order to continue with increasing my exercise. I prefer walking to riding an exercise bike, though, so I am looking forward to the storm passing. I find riding the exercise bike to be painfully boring! There is nothing to look at and such. When out walking, even if you pass the same streets every day, there are changes in what is going on. Different people. Different activities, etc. It is always interesting!
But, after only one day, I can’t stop exercising today just because the weather is bad. If I did give myself the day off, I would not be getting the exercising as a daily habit. In order to do that, I need to exercise every day for at least a few weeks, before settling into a normal schedule.
Well, I better go ride now!
Good for you, Bob, you and an inspiration!
Thank you, AmericanLola!
I mean, 'you are an inspiration'! Ack!
I am several years from moving there but I do look forward to walking the land there. It is so beautiful and so much to see. And yes, the exercise is essential. I go to the gym here in the USA ever day and use a treadmill at home with the goal of maintaining my health so I can enjoy my retirement there.
Congrats, John, on your exercise regiment! I hope that you are able to enjoy many happy years living in thee Philippines.
