I need to start eating more yogurt

This is the phrase that went through my head earlier today. It made me pause.

It's just one more thing that I need to do in order to look after my health, which is already starting to go south (at the tender age of 32):
My blood pressure is creeping upward to the point where the doc is talking
medication (which immediately prompted me to stop going to the doctor); A (non-serious, but definitely troubling) brain tumor; My inability to return to my 'fighting weight;' My lack of energy and general sloth-like level of activity day in and day out.

But it's all abstract. I *feel* fine and I've always been healthy as a horse (except this year, when I got bronchitis. Or something. I, of course, never went to a doctor so I don't know for sure).

Plus, I hate to exercise. Going to the gym seems to me the highest exercise in pointlessness ( I go to a big room full of machines in order to expend a lot of energy and get absolutely nowhere?). Of course running hurts my knees and back (and is generally unpleasant). I'm too much of a homebody to go out for a *team* sport (plus I invariably flashback to my school days where I generally sucked at sports. Except kickball. I've never been very comfortable with my physical prowess, or lack thereof).

The only sport I ever liked and could actually envision myself doing is rowing, and there is a rowing club here but... oh, I don't know, see all of the above (and it is kind of pricey, alas).

But I've got to do something. I've got to find some way to motivate myself in getting off my butt (in all areas of my life) or I'm going to
find myself bitter and miserable (too late!)...
