What a day!
I’ve made the long needed decision to improve my fitness. I have slowly stopped working out and my fitness has obviously suffered. I started today with a two mile hike with my favorite guy, Scout. It was a beautiful day and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Why did I stop doing things like this? The first thought that comes to mind is I’m simply exhausted all the time. It’s been this way for about 20 years. After numerous tests and treatments with no improvement, they called it chronic fatigue syndrome. It basically means we have no idea what is wrong with you or how to fix it. Not comforting at all for someone who likes to be active. I’ve talked about this in the past. I do everything in my power to manage my symptoms. Is this the reason I stopped working out? I’m sure it contributed to it in some ways. My knee issues post a total knee replacement have also contributed. But enough is enough. It’s time to get my butt moving and get in some sort of shape again. I will never be in as fit as I have been in the past but I can definitely be in better shape. That is the goal. Today was the start. I will keep you all updated.
