People often tell me I look tired. But then, I've had dark circles under my eyes since I was a teenager. I've tried covering them with makeup, but it doesn't help much. So I've become resigned to looking tired, even when I'm not.
I've had my energetic moments, but for much of my life I've been, well, stuck in second gear. Being a low-energy person isn't been a big deal -- unless, of course, you happen to live with a toddler. And I do.
One reason for my birthday resolution to take better care of myself is the new level of exhaustion I've come to know since my then-newborn grandson came to live with us. Three years on, I struggle to keep up with him.
It's a vicious cycle: I'm too tired to exercise, so I don't. And because I haven't been exercising of late, I'm tired all the time.
So tomorrow I'll park as far as I can from my office without actually leaving campus. It's a start. And that's what I really need to do: start.
Here's hoping it doesn't rain.

Knowing the parking situation on campus, you should be able to get a mile or two in getting to and from your car. LOL
ReplyDeleteAnd it's all uphill -- at least for my morning trek from the tennis courts to the library.
