I hope people don't get annoyed when I post a lot. I tend to take things to extreme...and can obsess over things...and I know I'm early in the game, but I seem to have gotten my motivation back to exercise. I've always been big on trying to take care of myself in the sense of eating right and trying to keep my weight under control. I have been doing low carb for the past 10 years off and on with literally one week increments off. I would walk during my lunch break, weather permitting, no matter if I had a buddy to walk with or not. More motivated by a buddy. The past two days I managed to have a buddy walk with me as I found myself craving the exercise after being too tired and lazy for the past 3 months to do so. Today said buddy is leaving work early an could not. And guess what...I went without her! I'm really hoping this isn't a fluke (read: placebo affect), but you know what, even if it is, I'll take it. But really, hopefully it isn't!
