Motivational Monday: Motivating Myself to Take a Walk

I skipped my morning walk on Sunday, but this morning I took a walk around the block. I find that I need something to motivate me to get out and walk. This morning's motivation was taking the trash to the alley. I use the plastic grocery bags for trash, so it is easy, even with a walker, to take two or three of them to the alley. 

After I put the trash in the dumpster, I walk around the block instead of going back through the court yard. I will continue the walking around the block once a day for the next couple of weeks. After that, I will walk around twice. I don't know what I will use for motivation then, but I will find something. Maybe I will down load a music app to my smartphone.
