Inspiration Comes Knocking Again!

I was at work today, busy doing my thing: folding clothes, when a lovely woman came in. We began talking about the logo on her fleece, some super athlete food company, and once again I gained inspiration from a customer! I thought for certain that she was in her early twenties, she looked so fit and healthy and young! We talked for some time, of course about clothes, but mostly about how she stayed in shape by riding her bike all of the time. She cross trains, walks, hikes, does it all. Then she told me she was 36 years old. . . only two years younger than me! Boy, did I feel like a lump! I am so out of shape and have really let myself go, ugh. I like to blame it on my meds, but for certain my almost complete lack of physical activity is the culprit. I want so badly to step it up and get in shape for the rest of my life. Not just for the marvelous hikes and adventures I want to take, but I want to make a real life change. It is so hard to do, and I can think of a million reasons why I would rather eat m&ms and drink soda all day. But it's time I made a change, or lots of changes for the better.
My first change, I've already decided, is not to go all gung ho (I'm not sure if that is even a word!) and starve myself and run ten miles every day (I don't think I'll ever be able to do that!). Instead I am going to make small changes; maybe one or two a week, and see what happens. I want to make life changes, not go on a diet that when I reach my goal I stop and gradually fall back into my old lazy bum ways. Ugh to that!
So how fabulous does all of that sound? I'm pretty excited myself!
Day one of the rest of my life starts tomorrow!!!!
