Went to the doctor for my annual. Some things were as I expected but there were a couple of surprises. I've been trying to get healthier for years with mixed results. This last visit was the kick in the butt that I needed. I'm not past the point of no return, so that's good but, it's hard when you have to motivate yourself to do the things that will make you healthier, especially when you feel so unmotivated. For better or worse, the universe gave me that motivation, so let's see how this goes.
@BADeMorte #HealthIsWealth do what it takes..
@SECRET_ASIAN_MAN I'm trying but it can be hard when you only answer to yourself. I need to talk to my one friend and see about a support group. That might keep me on track better
@BADeMorte @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN If you're lucky enough to live within a reasonable distance of a #parkrun, give it a try. You'll find supportive friends there pretty quickly.
See htyps://parkrun.com to find locations in many countries.
Here's a useful testimonial.

@BADeMorte @SECRET_ASIAN_MAN You could always start one yourself! My nearest one in MA is a 35-minute drive. They're starting a 3rd one in the Spring and I'm investigating a location that might become our 4th one.
@peterquirk I work nights and weekends so I don't know how well that would work
@peterquirk Yeah. I would not be able to do that but thank you for the suggestion. It looks amazing.
@BADeMorte That would be a problem. #Parkrun is always held at 9am on Saturdays (with some variation based on latitude and time of year, e.g. 7am in summer in Sydney, Australia, but 9:30am in Scotland.)
