I’m feeling good about gamifying my physical activity. For starters, I know what a base movement score looks like and how far away from it I generally am. I found myself running through parking lots in an attempt to up my numbers. I wonder how good they will look when it isn’t so damn hot. Still, while it is, I need to take advantage and melt off some of these pounds. I’m maybe halfway through this life I’ve been given if I’m lucky, and that means I have to fix all the damage I have done to this body before that damage starts to pile up in a really negative way. Time is short to put those later life and quality of life years back on and I am learning that for me, Gamification is the way.
This is not the review blog–I’m going to need to use this device a few more days to get there, but I can say I do feel healthier already and I am to get even better as the weeks progress. Also helps to be coaching because it is a built in reason to move and try to be active. If I’m running then the kids are and that makes them better and makes me healthier. win/win.
All this is to say I am happy and I feel like I am in a good place with all of the things in my life, though I worry that my balance is less than optimum especially when it comes to time with the partner and time on the novel. I need to get those in balance and stop doing some of the time wasting I do in order to give the lady the time and attention she deserves. I also need to get it right temporaly and mentally before the school year rolls in. I’d love to be in a position to start school on top of my game.
