Its Hard Work Being A Couch Potato

Its hard work being a couch potato, y'all. It takes effort and an undying devotion to being able to take it this easy.  I've become very good at it.  I contemplate this all the time and wonder if I should give it up?  But...since I did promise myself I'd get it together...I'll give it a shot. 


Just imagine the energy it’s going to take me to get up off the couch, go all the way into the bedroom to my closet...have to reach up on the rack and get my Under Armour Cross Trainer shoes...go back into the bedroom, find a place to sit amongst the clothes and other paraphernalia that I've thrown about all week...clear a spot...sit down to put on the shoes...and THEN notice that I don't have the right socks.  I have to get back up, go to the drawer and get socks (Oops, bad smell!  That pair got back in the drawer accidently) and then go all the way back to find my shoes and then put them on. Oh, hold it...gotta decide on the wardrobe first.


As far as the pants and shirt.  Gotta match and look cool...uh huh...that's right.  Is it cold out?  Should I wear sweat pants? What about a jacket?  Do I even need a jacket?  Well the jacket is out, because I don't have one that goes with this pair of sweatpants.  Where's that T-shirt that says "Run, Run Rudolph." on the front of it?  Not athletic, but it's as close as I've got.  Here it is on the bedpost.  Looks clean...oops...except for that little chocolate ice cream stain...but nobody will see that while I'm moving around.  I know I definitely need a hat, cause my hair looks horrible, and if I pass somebody on the street I know, or if a car rides by while I'm walking...well I can't have them seeing my mop looking like this!


Ok.  Ready.  Oh wow...it is colder than I thought.  Never mind...I'll work up a sweat, right? 


Now I'm ready.  Oh wait, I have to find my iPod.  Doggone it, where'd I put those earphones?  Oh yeah...floorboard of the car.  Here we go! 


Out the door!  Lock it up behind me...check.  Put garage door down...check.  Shoot fire...iPod battery is dead. I can't go walking without music!  I'll just go back inside and charge it for a few minutes.  I'll still have time to get a walk in...just have to be a little shorter than I planned today.  That's ok; I'm doing SOMETHING, right?


Oh...Oh...where are my house keys!  (Peers in the window of the house) I hope that's not them on the kitchen table.


It's just too hard to try to get in shape y'all.  It's Hard Work Being a Couch Potato!


It’s a lot easier making a plan to get into shape...try it for yourself!




Get fit.  Stay fit.
