So I decided to have a two-pronged approach to accountability to start this year.
1) My husband. If we do it together, I'll actually do it right? Couch to 5k day one: Complete!
2) I am participating in New Year, No Excuses challenge. It's an 8 week weight loss challenge. I figure if I exercise and eat healthy, I will also lose weight! Or at least, lose fat and gain some muscle. I am about 10-12 pounds above where I'd ideally like to be, so I have some room to lose! Head on over to "Chaos and Love" to follow the adventure :)
And lastly...I'm hoping all of you will keep me accountable too. I need to run 3x a week, exercise an additional 2x a week and really eat healthier. Any tips, recipes, encouragement will be greatly appreciated :)
One day at a time!!! My granddad used to tell us that the only way to eat an elephant is one bite at a time! All we have to do is our best to accomplish our goals today and we'll be one step closer!!! Great reminder!
ReplyDeleteLOL - not going to eat an elephant, but good advice :)
DeleteWow! Way to go! Just admitting it is the first step. I think you can do it no problem. Before we moved we had bought a inexpensive treadmill. That was the single best thing we ever invested in. Because whether I walked or my Husband ran, we always had an outlet to workout on.
ReplyDeleteHonestly tho - I want to get a therapeutic trampoline. My mom got one and OMG! Five minutes felt like I ran 5 miles in the sand. I'm hooked! Easy ways to accidentally exercise - thats what its all about. :-D
That sounds awesome. I need to look into one of those right away!
DeleteYou can do it!!!!

Thanks!
DeleteYou can do it. I am also working on getting healthier this year, my goal is to set a better example for my kids.
ReplyDeleteBeing a good example is such a motivator!
DeleteI love this! You are simply ADORABLE! Hope that the first weekend of 2013 was good to you. :) Just popping over from Sugar and Dots to say hello. Come say hi sometime! XO!!
ReplyDeleteYou CAN do it! I've always quit, made excuses, procrastinated, etc. but not this year! I am determined! I have a great group of mamas that help keep me motivated called the Mamavation Sistahood, you should check them out. They'll give you a swift kick in the rear if you need it. :) Thanks for linking up on my blog!
