Well now, it's been a year or so

since my hip surgery
About to have my hip replacement at a hospital in Athens last year. I can't
even straighten my left leg. photo credit: @twiceuponatime
In addition, I had been quite inactive
for several years before that due to the hip condition.
Still, before taking the drastic step of a hip replacement,
and after several years of hoping the pain would go away, LOL,
I gave stem cell therapy a try.
But I found it gave only a little,
and only temporary, relief.

So, as you could well imagine,
it has been a very long time since I have had
any real exercise at all!
And it shows!

That's all fine and dandy, @onceuponatime,
But from whence do you propose to get the motivation
to come back to fitness from such a deplorable state?
After all, it ain't easy!

Well, being of a rather devious character,
(sometimes I do come under the nefarious influence
of my demented alter-ego, @twiceuponatime)
I could easily pretend that my motivation
is due to my involvement in cryptos
(bitcoin, steem, eos, bitshares and such).
That is,
I could plausibly claim to be getting in shape
for the coming wars between
centralization and decentralization!

But @twiceuponatime mocked me mercilessly:
"Who's going to believe that, you fool?"
"Certainly not her:"

"Furthermore," @twiceuponatime hissed:
"everyone knows crypto is for nerds,
and that you spend 12, 14, 18 or more
hours a day behind a computer screen!"

So how did I overcome @twiceuponatime's bullying?
To come up with the motivation to get back in shape?
I do wish it was something noble
that I could say was the key
Unfortunately,
it was just VANITY that got the best of me :-)
After all, who wants
to look down and, for the rest of his life,
see only his stomach, never his shoes?
"so that's the real reason for your 'Don't forget to look up' post, you hypocrite!"
said @twiceuponatime
Don't forget to look up!
