5. i wear a tracker

more to watch my sleep than my steps, and i’m not particularly prone to acting on the nags.
but it gives a buzz any time i go 50 min w/o 250 steps.
the app says this is based on research, and gives a grid by week of how many hours u moved.

if u r motivated by stuff like that, u shd get 1. but even if, like me, u dont even think about it most of the time, it’s kinda good to look over your stats now and then, and see how u r doing. and maybe forgive yourself for the days u barely make a blip.

i’m at the age where i have 2 choices- work harder or rot.
it’s kind of dumb luck that effective treatment for my fibro FINALLY ALLOWS ME to exercise.
until 2020, i tried over and over to get a good yoga practice going. it took such a bite out of my day to do the yoga, then get over it. sooo many times i zonked out on my mat.
finally in a place where i get that endorphin shot.

also- a puppy helps. i’m not every thing my hot lips deserves, but i do try.
i rarely back down from a fight. i’m winning this 1.
