Self Abuse
Jan. 21st, 2008 11:38 amI find posting intentions here helps me because then I'm embarrassed not to do it. Like finally building Frog World. This time it's exercise. I'm determined to get rid of the around-the-waist flab but don't want to spend lots of money on a gym. Even checked out a Boot Camp but decided nah, I can beat myself up. I don't need to pay somebody to do it for me.
Thus - ten situps a day and a walk of 2-3 kilometres. I know that's not much but too much at first and I won't do it. Today I walked about 1.5km to the river, where the council are maintaining quite a successful looking "biodiversity area" as their sign calls it. Paths down to a river beach, lots of vegetation, a very natural-looking water feature, pool and a drip-fall, not enough water to call it a waterfall, plus an even more natural, beautiful little brown snake which slithered along on the other side of the pool attending to its own business. I let it do so, since although I could not identify it, it's generally a good guess that an Australian snake will have both attitude and the ability to put you in the hospital or the morgue.
If I'd grown up in this suburb or was a dog owner, I'd know all the local places without thinking about it but as a lone adult, I need to make a conscious effort to seek them out. It'll make the pursuit of fitness a bit more interesting.
