For those of you looking for the Ultimate Jinx, she'll be back on Monday with more words of wisdom for you. I asked to write to you today as my schedule will not allow for me to do a Monday post...with that in mind, here we go.
Well it's been a full three weeks since I drank the Kool-Aid and downloaded the Pokémon GO app.
On July 11th I downloaded this app in a bit of a protest, to be honest, but I did it as a way to spend time with my youngest daughter who had been chasing Pokémon's since the app launched. She is your typical teenager and seems to want to avoid her parents at any cost (especially in public). I know I can say this here as she will never read this. Strangely, I have really been enjoying the app, I walk almost every lunch time, I make walks at night with both my daughters and my wife as they are all now playing.
I have walked over almost 40 kilometers or 24.5 miles in 3 weeks. That's a lot for walking for this guy. I am getting a better endurance and I'm feeling better, exercise is good. I understand the feeling (especially when getting started) that it's bad or it hurts or it makes you so tired. Truth is you have to push through that and force the issue and then all of a sudden you turn the corner and you start looking for excuses to exercise, reason to exercise.
Before I had loaded up the app, I found that my interest and my thoughts were ways to get away from exercising, I was losing my motivation. I found that motivation in the Pokémon app. Pokémon, not your thing, what about a zombie run? No? Maybe just an app like Map my Walk or Map my run? There are as many apps as there are ways to exercise. Find what works for you and then when it isn't working for you , find a new thing that works for you.
Until next time, Gentle Reader,
