Sometimes it's troubling to see how much time Simon spends at the computer, but while I did the same thing as a kid, to an extent, I didn't have the social opportunity that it includes today. To that end, I don't want him to feel bad about this time, but I also would like him to move around a bit. Diana suggested that he go with her to the HOA gym at the start of summer. While he seemed a little apprehensive, he did it, and he didn't hate it.
What happened next is that he kept going. Every single day. My boy needs constant reminders for, well, everything it seems, but he's going on his own accord daily. I'm sure that part of this is the fact that he gets bored, and that's fine. I'm just surprised that he's sticking to it without any real encouragement. He says he mostly does the treadmill and elliptical, and he's spending close to an hour most of the time.
Meanwhile, I'm not doing that. I'm in a rut where my brain is so overwhelmed with noise that it's hard for me to even get on the treadmill that I own in my office. And I'm feeling that sometimes when I am on my feet. That's not good. I've always hated exercise. I am starting to endeavor in something that will help, but I'm not sure to what extent it'll get me moving. I just know that I have to get moving for the purpose of my own longevity.
I have to hand it to Simon though, his follow-through has been solid. I'm really happy for him.
