    Setting small goals 1 week ago

    I find it funny that this goal is on thousands of lists. It’s good to know that I’m not alone!

    The most embarrassing part of this goal is that I’m armed with all the right tools to do it and I have NO excuses for not achieving it. I have a gym membership, have the time to work out and am in decent average shape (fat skinny person).

    Obstacles to this goal:
    - I get bored easily
    - I get slightly self-conscious while working out (I especially hate it when people come over and try to impart their expert knowledge. I know they mean well, but dude, I’m just happy that I’m at the gym at all.)
    - I have this silly mindset that I smoke, hence I should quit first then exercise (yeah, I know)

    To do:
    - sign up for a small reformer-based pilates class
    - go for a yoga class once a week
    - find a cardio machine I like
    - quit smoking

    Here goes nothing.

    How To Start Exercise at Gym 1 week ago

    I want to start exercise at gym. So, How to start my work & get it done? Can anybody help me?



    Is it so hard? 1 week ago

    Exercise was somehow easier when I was active on sports teams (something about a coach shouting at you to do more laps but at least it got done!) Similar situation but now I need to get myself moving. Best go and buy a good set of running shoes, me thinks?



    Aerobics! 2 weeks ago

    I’ve been doing this aerobics class twice a week with my mom since I’ve been home. The first time I went, I was skeptical, as its a class run by an older lady. But, surprisingly, it’s a very intense workout. One hour of aerobics using a step and lifting weights. I’m moving away this week and will miss the workouts with my mom! I hope she sticks with it.
    I feel great afterwards, though I really have got to start eating more as I’ve gotten sooooo skinny. High metabolism + aerobics = stick figure.

    Got a mile in 2 weeks ago

    For the first time this week I did a mile of walking at work. It felt good to do it too. I feel stronger, more confident. Now I just need to keep it up.

    I’ve danced a lot and I eat a lot more healthily, does that count at all?

    exercise at work 4 weeks ago

    I did it! Yesterday I completed my first mile at work! And, today I already have knocked it off again. I’m not fooling myself that I have accomplished some great feat, it’s just my first baby steps to something greater. I work at a school, a large (geographically) school, and somebody figured out that three times around the first floor is equal to a mile. So, I started this yesterday. My goal is to do this at least 3 times a week, if not every work day. When that gets easy, I’ll throw in some stairs. Steady progress is the name of the game.

    Walking 4 weeks ago

    I started walking at work today. So far I’ve only made the whole first floor once, but it I hope to make at least 1 more round before the day is over, I want to make 3 rounds a day if possible.



    I haven't updated... 4 weeks ago

    this one in a while.

    I’ve been walking, but very sporadically. Certainly not up to my goal of 5 days per week. Sometimes the problem is pain – from plantar fasciitis or my knees. Mostly the problem is making myself do it. Making it a habit.

    I have been tracking this the last few weeks and have been averaging about 3 times a week. Until last week when I did less and then injured myself. Fortunately that was a quick healing injury so I’m ready to go again.

    Next Monday Walter and I are heading for Hawaii where I expect to be walking more than usual. In the meantime I’m still working on that 5 days per week.
