Move It!
A couple of weeks ago, we watched Julie & Julia, which inspired my daughter’s to do “365 day” blogs. It’s been fun watching the posts and the discipline to actually blog every day. Today, as I was contemplating my new workout routine that will begin tomorrow (FYI, on Sunday’s it will always begin tomorrow), I was thinking about accountability and how helpful that would be. My girls, my son-in-law, and their close friends are all beginning their workout program this week - together. I could use the accountability, too, but since my schedule is so different, I came up with my own, unique plan for accountability…I will be blogging my fitness pursuit here.
I know that I feel better when I work out regularly but I also know that I can get bored with it, I can easily get stuck in a rut, I can get obsessive and I am amazing at making excuses for not doing it. Blogging will help me to maintain balance…if I believe that someone is reading this (a fact that I will never truly know), it will keep me in check.
Exercise and “right eating” go hand-in-hand. I don’t eat horribly, and, although I know what I should be eating, I get lazy and stressed and sometimes even depressed and my “go to” foods are very sugary, gooey, yummy stuff. I try to have “good” things on hand that I can reach for in a hurry, and I actually have some great recipes and some very satisfying foods and even a few tricks that I will share – and I would be happy to hear about any of your secrets.
So, tomorrow is the “tomorrow” I have been telling myself about. I am hoping that this creative pursuit of my fitness goals will be entertaining, informative and inspiring for you and for me.
Plan for tomorrow (it’s important to think through your day and to actually schedule a workout time):
- Gym: 8:30 a.m. Treadmill (10 minutes), chest and back, abs, stationary bike (30 minutes).
