Omoi Koshi wo Ageru
Today I finally started working on a task I had been putting off.
Such a situation can be described with the Japanese idiom, omoi koshi wo ageru (重い腰を上げる).
Since omoi (重い) means "heavy," koshi (腰) means "waist," and ageru (上げる) means "to lift," the literal meaning of this idiom is "to lift one's heavy waist."
Of course, if you have a heavy waist, it is difficult to lift it and stand up.
To lift a heavy waist implies that there will be progress in something.

重い腰を上げる
私は今日、先延ばしにしていた仕事にようやく取り掛かりました。
そのようなことを、「重い腰を上げる」という慣用句で表すことができます。
「重い」は "heavy"、「腰」は "waist"、「上げる」は "to lift" を意味するので、「重い腰を上げる」の文字どおりの意味は "to lift one's heavy waist" となります。
腰が重いと、なかなか立ち上がることができません。
そんな重い腰を上げるということは、ようやく何かが進むというわけです。
