Losing to the Couch

I read somewhere that it is at 30's when you lose the last of your stubborn "baby fat" and actually leaned down to a svelte middle age figure. YIKES! Not happening here! Sigh.
Anyway, exercise had been such a pain lately. More and more, going to the gym after 12 hours of work (or any other excuse I can think of) is becoming quite a moral question that I'd mull over while vegging on the couch from which I'd drag myself to the dinner table to stuff my face. It is disheartening to say the least. Today, however, I forced myself to walk with Mel for 30 minutes around my neighborhood to the park although it was already quite dark and everyone else seemed to have succumbed to his or her own morality debate on the couch. I tried to drag Mel into brisk walking with me, but the sound of his espadrilles pounding against the pavement so distracted me that I was forced to stroll!
Well, we did clock in at over 30 minutes, so at least, I feel somehow productive and not totally a slob. I then wanted to do some work - like work on our store website, open the mail (mostly bills, so not particularly inspiring, or blog - which I am doing - but I am getting increasingly sleepy at only half past 10 which is uncharacteristically early for me, so I don't know what's up. I am trying to think of a photo to add to this entry but cannot think of any. Maybe, I will end this with thoughts of toned arms someday.
