The Plan

Starting to live more healthy is not quite as easy as someone might think. I look at trying to change my lifestyle with a great bit of reluctance, but I know what I want and I want to do what I can to achieve it. To start things off I figured I need a plan. I looked at many possibilities starting with exercise. I have been to the local gym and got pricing and tours. While they have a lot of equipment I fear that I will not use what is there or be too tired to attend after work. At this point I really don’t want to overwhelm myself with all of the possibilities. I just want something that is relatively easy and will be something I can accomplish. I plan to move to bigger and harder things in the future but I really don’t what to create a situation where I would dread working out. I also feel that I need to plan what I am going to do on what day. Being that I have this Monday off of work, I have decided I would start things off with a nice walk with my wife. Tuesday I will do about 15 minutes home work outs, Wednesday will be 15 minutes of yoga, Thursday another walk with my wife, Friday 15 minutes of home work outs, Saturday 15 minutes of Yoga. I think everyone needs a day off so Sunday I will take relax and recoup for the same schedule the following week.

Hello

I consider myself to be a lazy person. I work hard at my job but the moment I get home I want to lie on the couch and watch TV. Sometimes I am nothing more than a couch potato. I do not go for walks often and I don’t play any sports. Exercise in something I tend to stay far away from. My family has a history of diabetes and heart disease. I lost my father to heart disease when I was 19. My siblings around me also have many of the same conditions my father and mother have. I have in the last two years found that I have fatty live and I am beginning to have minor chest pains. It is only recently I have reviewed over my life and found that I am not happy with who I am. I want to begin the live a healthy life. I plan to learn from my mistakes and the mistakes my family have made in the past. I want to enjoy my life for as long as I can journey in it.
