Beginning

I'm starting this blog for a simple selfish reason. I want to motivate myself into feeling, deceptively of course, in control of my life again. I aim to do that by getting back into exercising. Baby steps. I haven't managed to create a regular exercising routine since I arrived in Manchester, almos 6 years ago. In the meantime, I have swam in the local aquatics centre for brief periods, and as I would beging entering the habit-forming zone of exercising, I would drop out, invariably. It often happened because I had to travel for a few weeks or even months, and returning to a routine has always been difficult. I need to keep trying, and this blog may help, I hope...

Will begin with a silly pilates video that I bought at the supermarket, and which I used three time in the last month. It's good, and it makes me feel refreshed after a mere 20 minutes. So, why, for god's sake, don't I do it everyday? Tomorrow I will go for a walk/run in the park near my flat. It's not a very exciting partk, not at all. But it's what I have right now. I'm a snobish ex-runner, I used to run in beautiful settings and now all I have is an uggly little park.

One detail before I continue: I'm not a native English speaker. My writing is intuitive, my grammar even more so, but I won't apologise. I live with a foreing language where I struggle to find my home every day. Off to the pilates video...

Done, 20 minutes and I feel more alive!
