Walk It Out

Is it just me, or do I always choose one of the worst weeks to try and motivate myself?

It's been raining for almost a week! Thunderous rain. I wouldn't mind going for a stroll in a shower but throw some electricity in there and I'm staying inside. I walk through a field, and growing up in a house that was struck by lightening twice has taught me avoid being the tallest point when outdoors in a storm. (It has also taught me to play the lottery! Just kidding. Sort of.)

Can you tell it doesn't take much to shake my enthusiasm for the great outdoors?

Exercising indoors is out of the question. I live with the boyfriend's family, and made that mistake ONCE. Never again. A hundred questions and teasing comments plus the plain old paranoia that someone was going to Start With Me has made me too nervous to try. I'm also giving myself a break because I'm almost done with a grody cold I caught from Kailey, and I've been told to take it easy. I hate that, because my thought is - I've BEEN taking it easy. I'm probably sick from sitting in this chair for so long!

Anyway, I'm trying to make a deal with myself. 15 minutes of walking, doing a pilates video, or real hip-swinging dancing with Kailey earns me 10 points. I'm aiming for 100 points per week. I don't know what the grand-total will be, or what I'll "win", but at least I have a system in place while I think about it.
