Oops?

Well, I either haven't posted for weeks on purpose or on accident, and I'm guessing it's probably a bit of both.  My family was in town for a week and that took up all of my time, meaning I didn't have time to post OR to focus on being healthy or exercising.  Which is a lame excuse, because if I really wanted to make it a part of my life then it wouldn't matter if I was on vacation or family was visiting or there was a party with tons of great food, etc etc etc.  BUT I'm happy to say that this week, I'm starting to get back on track.  I went running on Monday night, went to the gym for an hour on Tuesday, and went running again on Thursday morning.  That's my 3 times/week minimum, but I did some good workouts instead of just 20 minute chunks, so I'm feeling good about that.

I decided that I'm going to make a gym chart.  I used to have one with an old roommate of mine and we loved putting stickers on it every time we went to the gym.  I know, it sounds childish, but it really does help!  I bought fun sparkly stickers and I'm going to make some rules for myself.  3x/week is the minimum for gym attendance. (Although all the working out doesn't necessarily have to take place at the gym, but at least once a week does.) So when I say "gym attendance" I really just mean working out.  At least once every two month period I'm going to have a "boot camp week" where I have to work out every single day except for Sunday that week.  My goal is to get to the point where I WANT to exercise every single day except for Sunday.  I want to be healthy and in shape and able to walk up a flight of stairs without getting light-headed, haha.  Good goal, right? :-)

Don't worry, I'll post next week, I promise.
