I’m struggling to overcome inertia and get back into exercising. I find it easy to make excuses – or to delay just getting out there – or feel that I don’t have enough time to go for a bike ride. In some ways it was easier during chemo. There were no expectations on my time. The entire focus of my day was to exercise. If I managed anything else, that was a bonus.

So now I’m struggling. I’m trying to do a bunch of stuff. I’m trying to find a balance. And my days are still quite full of doctors appointments – which turns into yet one more excuse to not get out and exercise.

And so, I’ve decided to re-instate my “What’s your Exercise today” Facebook support group. I will ask the exercise question three days per week (Monday – Wednesday, Thursday/Friday, and Saturday/Sunday). My goal is to have at least two different types of exercise in each timeframe. Since I currently bike, swim, walk/hike, go to the gym – I have options. I just need to push myself to get out and do them.

So, now that I’ve delayed yet again, I’m going to change and hop on my bike!
