A banana for breakfast

and by lunch time I was STARVING.  That banana wore off at about 10am. 

We had a lovely dinner and all things considered I am still one point under my daily allowance.  But there is something that nags at me.

I think about it in the morning.  I consider it in the afternoon after work.  I plot ways to do it in the evening when I am plopped on the couch watching TV. 

That's right, I'm filled with "GYM GUILT".  I didn't know such thing existed, but nothing else could explain this feeling.  I read on pinterest (*a help and a burden) lots of motivational sayings and pictures about health and wellness and clearly these images are haunting me. 



This one phrase has been on my mind today :




Its not an earth shattering statement.  Heck, it's not even that witty, but every ounce of this statement is true.  I always feel sorry the next day for not doing what I know I should do.  ...and it's my choice.

Choices that I make are both disappointing and unproductive.  However, the warmth of home and comfort of my couch usually outweigh the drive to the gym after a day at work.  At the time I make the decision to stay home with my husband and puppy dog I am content.  It is only later, after dinner and reminiscing about the meals I had through the day, I realize that I did nothing to supplement my efforts to eat differently.

The choice I am making here and now: BUYING A TREADMILL and putting it right in the living room.  (*SHHH! My husband doesn't know yet!)  
Will it be ugly?  YES.  
Will I be more likely to use it if it is in a place where I can spend time with my husband, watch tv, and I don't have to climb the stairs to get to it? ABSOLUTELY!
