I used to have a friend (well, she's still my friend, but now lives 4 hours away) who'd show up at my place five mornings a week to go for a 1 mile walk. It's a great way to hold each other accountable!

Yeah, I'm the one that will create a workout, learn everything necessary and push us once we're at the gym. It's just a struggle to GET me there. Last summer it was my 16 year old daughter who got me there, because she needed it to help her with her depression... so I forced myself to go for her. Now it's my friend who needs it, so I'll go for her... even though I know I need it just as much, I can't seem to push it for just me. Which probably says a lot, but I'm just going to go with it for now! :)
Yep, that's such a mom mentality kind of thing - take care of others before you tend to yourself. Lucky for me, my brain doesn't work that way... (and hopefully my eldest who is here on Steemit won't see this and call me out on that - LOL! Again, I commend you for figuring out the way that works for you, and getting it done!
I don't know, I think it might be more of a lazy thing... :/ I'm pretty good at doing things for myself and taking time for me when it's something I WANT or enjoy doing.
And I hear you about your kid being on here, too! Mine aren't that active yet, but it does occur to me sometimes when I write something, "Oh, my kids might see this!" :)
You say lazy like it's a bad thing...LOL
Yeah, I've been thinking about that for years (I've had a WordPress blog since, forever). About the only thing that saves me is that they have zero interest in what I have to say. 😜
Lol :) I had a livejournal for about 15 years that I wrote in all the time (and it was DEFINITELY a "JOURNAL") that I wouldn't want them to read, but everything else I write with the knowledge that they might someday see it. I'm so completely open with them about everything anyway, it really doesn't matter... and I know that although they talk to me about everything under the sun, NONE of them will take the time to read my writing for now (except some of the fiction, but I've kind of ruined that by writing some erotica now!)
I DO have the thought "well, someday I'll be dead and look at all this stuff they can read of mine!" :) Maybe that's morbid.
Yeah, one of the kids (or maybe it was my hubby) said, "we already know everything you write about - why would we want to read it too?" And not morbid at all, considering I've had the same thoughts... although I might not be the best yardstick to measure by... 😂
Hahahahaha! I say things like that all the time, "No, it's not just you. I do that too. Of course that might not be the best sign of your sanity!"
