Today's 10-minute walk is helping you stay fitness consistent.

Let's go for a walk.

Saw this on the Start Today Facebook group.

If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started.

And when I started, I was desperately wishing to be where I am now.

Some might call that a meme. I call that wisdom. This idea, this awareness, that there are things that we pursue in life,

things that we do that are very hard,

that maybe others should be doing but aren't because it's hard and they gave up.

And we are in the process of negotiating with ourselves whether we should continue on.

Perhaps you've started listening to this podcast and you've been walking every day for 10 minutes

and you started with great enthusiasm and great excitement, how this daily

10-minute walk is going to change your life. And now here we are days, weeks, maybe even months

later, and you're wondering, why am I doing this? Because all these things that Dave said

was going to happen, if I walked every day, I'm not feeling any of this. And you start negotiating

with yourself, do I really need to keep doing this? Is this really worth my time?

And sadly, many conclude that, no, it's not.

Exercise and fitness is not worth the effort, and they stop.

Losing weight is incredibly hard. And it can be very frustrating, particularly if we

are looking around at others who are also trying to lose weight and they seem to be losing

it easier than we are. And so it's easy to give up. The juice ain't worth the squeeze. The sacrifice isn't

worth it. And so we stop. I've started this process and it's not going the way I thought.

If I quit now, I will soon be back to where I started.
