Examples All Around

Discipline and Regret.  Two words that may invoke distinct feelings.  Yesterday my seventy-three year old mother fell trying to navigate off a curb.  Most women her age would have had less trouble completing the simple task but years of physical activity as a younger woman combined with years of inactivity as an aging mother has left her with rigid joints.  She lacked the discipline to wait for help and instantly regretted her decision as she fell.  I came to the conclusion that I either go through the aches and pains of getting back into shape now or suffer the consequences as I get older.  For me the writing is on the wall and I've decided to erase and re-write.  Today- 30 minute aerobic- elliptical only; 7 pushups, 25 full sit ups, 25 leg lifts , 25 ab crunches.
