. . . exercise gets addictive.
I was a very determined couch potato
(TV and reading were my two main pastimes) when I was a teen.
Then I got myself a big (Sheperd/Lab cross) strong working dog when I was 21 and started having to walk for at least an hour twice a day. It played havoc
with my TV and social schedule.
But every time I wanted to not walk out that door at 5:30 a.m. my dog's eyes (sappy but true) would dim and her face would crumple
. So I went. And, after a long stressful day at work I started being glad that I had the walk with Kaya to look forward to in the evening
.
Then we started jogging to decrease the time we were out in the evening. Then I bought a stationary bike. Then a rowing machine. Then I discovered yoga.
I've been exercising now for 30 years. The few times I wasn't able to do so (last time I had a fractured wrist and had to wear a cast for 10 days) I felt weird
I've said it before and I still think it's true for just about everyone. Out bodies are made to move!
