Just A Lemming?
Have you ever done things just because one of your friends want you to?
Oh, I'm not talking as a kid...
I'm talking as a nearly-40 year old person.
I'm in a bind.
I have a friend at work that wants me to work out with.
And I've tried to have a good attitude about it...
and I go.
But, quite frankly.... I don't want to.
And I am having a hard time trying to figure out how to tell that person "no."
Not because I don't want to excercise...
Although.. I don't really care to.
But because I don't want to stay an extra 1/2 hour or 45 minutes after work to make up for the long lunch to work out.
I just want to go home to my family.
As soon as I can.
But I go work out.
Because the guilt eats at me when I don't, because I feel bad.
And until I can figure out a way to just say I don't want to go,
I go.
*sigh*

Yes, you got the city right- I edited your comment, but yes- who is your sister-in-law?
Learning to say no, is a lesson I keep relearning. It sucks.
