You're not the first person who has told me that.

I really need to get healthier.

You mentioned running a 10k. I want to. It would take me until Spring to be ready for something like that, probably. But if I say I'll do it here, in 'public' maybe I'll stick to it.

Maybe we could start a thread where I'll have to admit whether or not I did anything (like walking, running) that week and you called me out when I didn't, maybe I'd be embarrassed enough to follow through. Kind of like the foodblog idea.

I need to do something. I'm not getting any younger, and I need to find a better way to reduce stress.

edit: Vicious circle: when I get off work I don't want to do ANYTHING...often my brain is fried. I just want to go home. Even going home is stressful, with the crazy traffic. At minimum, barring errands and groceries, I'm gone 11 hours a day. This is my difficulty. Though I know it would be helpful if I did something I let myself make excuses because I feel so freaking tired. Stress. Must fix.
