As with getting a tattoo I feel that not getting a piercing is the new getting a piercing, so I give up on this goal.

Turns out all I needed was a little shaming. Joined Bootcamp out in San Francisco and that did the trick. It’s a little expensive but that encourages you to “get your money’s worth” and having a group of peers to push you onward goes a long, long way. If you’re having trouble getting into the habit try a fitness group or ask a couple of friends to join you.
I made a deal with my sisters to give up one thing for each of them that gives up smoking. I’m sure it’ll be easier for me to give up coffee than it is for them to give up smoking. I can’t possibly be that much of a wimp that I could fail at this. :-)
