I’m jumping on that oh-so-common bandwagon of giving myself a 30-day challenge. For me, it’s going to be exercise. Go figure.
For most of my life I haven’t had issues with managing my weight. In fact, up until my mid-30s I was still what most people would consider thin.
But oh, how time can change your body.
And having kids, of course.
Now it’s due to recent changes in my body chemistry.
But if I am truly being honest with myself, I haven’t really been giving it my all when I’m at the gym.
I’ve been taking advantage of being the one overseeing my own exercise routine, which, to be truthful, means I allow myself a lot of excuses:
- “I only have time for 20 minutes on the elliptical. Especially if I also want time for arm work.”
- “I need to take it easy today, my [insert body part here] is sore.”
- “This is my 3rd day here this week. I earned the right to take it easy on myself today.”
- “Can’t overdo it today. I don’t want to [insert potential injury here] for when [insert upcoming event here].”
The list goes on and on.
And so, I began this challenge yesterday.
Wish me luck. And don’t hesitate to reach out and hold me accountable! 🧐
