this is the thought process that has been going through my head now for months, among other things.
but what to DO about it?
don't get me wrong, its not just my arms or back that needs work - i need an overall over haul. nothing like a wedding to make that happen!
together with my girlfriend, sarah, we created a food and exercise journal. being a journalism major and a chronic list maker, this is the perfect tool for me! below is a sample of one of the pages. together we went on a trip to the ever-amazing target and bought matching binders and dividers. each divider holds its own little peice of magic. food journal (below), pictures (ack!!), weekly recap, recipes, excercises and measurements.
we daily fill out our food journal and compare them to each other every week. talk about accountability! i even have a place where we write down the excuses we made for ourselves - we have to share those too... and believe me, those can hurt to read out loud!
im seriously thinking about marketing these journals, selling them somewhere. thoughts?
every day at lunch, sarah and i go down to the gym and work the weights. we alternate arms and legs every other day, taking friday off. on top of THAT, i go home 3-4 days a week and do my Couch to 5K program with my trusty iphone. have i mentioned lately how obsessed i am with that app?
my goal is to be able to run a 5k without stopping to walk. sounds easy right? not if you're as out of shape as i am.
my prize? beyond the pride that will come with said 5K, i've told myself that when i run my first race, i'll go out that day and buy a sticker to put on my car that labels me a runner. may sound small, but that will be important to me.
