In my on-going battles with my health I have reached ‘The
Point’. I call it this because last Friday while at my doctor’s he actually
looked at me with a bit of pity. Not because I am sick, we are working through
that, but because he looked at me and I could see how I look.
A stressed-out woman in her mid 30’s. And I thought – this
is it, Something Has To Change. He said that until our next appointment he
wants me doing at least 1 hour of exercise a day. A day! I think I did one hour
of exercise in all of August. And he suggested yoga weekly. And something to
manage the stress.
After I had stopped crying (while in the parking lot at the
doctor’s office and not at home where my husband can see me) I thought to
myself “This is my unstressful year, how must I have been before now”. And that
was the moment. I decided to stop agonizing over decisions, just go for it,
start spending more time with friends and of course – working out. And five
days into it, it seems to be working.
