Nobody likes a quitter

I've already quit Curves.  I knew I would.  That is why I paid in full each month rather than the $10 cheaper version for people with more sticktoitiveness.  The skinny lady tried to talk me into paying the cheaper way.  But I knew that I wasn't going to do Curves for long.  I didn't know the reason though.  I thought I'd use it as a jumping off point to get back into a routine or a habit of working out.  That is what I had planned on.  But I got bored.  I dreaded going.  I didn't have fun.  I quit.  And I didn't get into any habit.  

(The skinny lady made a big deal about "calculating how much I owe them for quitting early", when I pointed out that I paid the full amount each month.  She huffed at me, but didn't have anything to say about that).

So now what?  I'm no closer to enjoying exercising than I was before.  But I have recently been reminded how much I like hiking in the woods and being outdoors.  Perhaps I can work that into a routine sometime.  If it ever stops raining here.  And my boys are both big enough to ride bikes with.  They can probably handle more distance than I can.  We live near some wonderful bike trails.  Maybe I can do that. 

One thing is certain.  If I want results, I have to do more than I'm doing now.  And if I'm going to have to do more, I have to figure out something I like. Sigh...
