Today I took the bus because I didn't feel like climbing the mountains home. It made me think of how much lazier I have become since I moved here in January. In a lot of ways I have my act together but when it comes to forcing myself to walk home my motivation is a little lacking lately. This little act of taking the bus is such a slippery slope. Now I know that maybe that seems a little dramatic but its important to realize that thats how it starts, one little change in the routine at a time. By pushing yourself even when you don't want to you gain a sense of accomplishment when you've completed it. Back to the mountains for example, when I finally make it to the top, even though it is usually panting, sweaty, and gross, I still feel like I climbed a small mountain for mankind!
So on that note I am going to make a concerted effort to walk home each night no matter how exhausted I am. Each of those walks uphill add up and really make a difference in the long run and the time outside is really important as well. I mean today was a beautiful day and I still didn't walk home and enjoy the sunshine! So come on San Francisco, climb those mountains with me!
