Scare me into working out please
Some days I think it would take a huge, burly personal trainer banging on my door to intimidate me into working out.
It seems if I miss a day, I tend to find an excuse to miss the next day. Then two weeks later I realize I have excused myself back to square one.
I feel better when I work out, so I don’t know why I just can’t get motivated.
Clutter is more than a house thing
Clutter can be in your mind and on your body.
Got some extra clutter to get rid of? I surely do. Thanks to hours behind a laptop, this past year has “stayed with me”. 
When I was younger, I was a workout fanatic…like two hours a day. What happened? Three kids happened and sucked all my time and energy, I guess. Well there is just another excuse.
Time for a new beginning
So today I am starting Jillian Michaels – 30 Day Shred
This attempt will be different because I am publicly announcing it and will log my daily progress here. It takes 21 days to form a habit, and I figure if I make it 30 days, it will stick.
Even with a hectic, busy lifestyle, I have no excuse for not finding 20-30 minutes to work out each day.
Schedule time for a workout daily
Part of organizing our lives should include a daily workout of some sort, even if it is just a refreshing 20-30 minute walk. Do it for yourself, your family, and your health.
“Strong body, strong mind”
I’m a big fan of Denise Austin’s Hit the Spot – Pilates
When you are in shape you feel empowered…you can do anything.
Join me
Interested in trying a 30 day challenge yourself? Let me know, and we will cheer each other on!
My twelve-year-old daughter is joining me. I’m sure my four-year-old will be there, too, distracting me and making me laugh with her hip circles. The two girls aren’t the big, burly personal trainer, but their participation helps.
Here goes…
Day 1: I survived workout #1! I had to take a 20 minute power nap after *sigh*. I know the energy will come eventually.
Day 2-5:Hanging in there. Getting easier.
Like I was just going to say answer the DOOR and give me 20 but then I saw that pic of me
That is me I want it seriously
what a trip LOL
this is weird
I will email it to you as a gift HA HA

You go girl!! I’m with you in spirit, hopefully my body will follow soon!
Thanks Ileane!
I feel like I got run over by a truck..but onto the next day. I know it will get better since I have done this 100 times ha ha.
I’m definitely walking daily and taking breaks from the computer where I get some exercise in. But I know I could easily add a 20 minute routine with some push-ups, crunches, and leg exercises. I’ll start on that soon.
Thanks for this post, thanks for the reminder!

OK I admit I was hoping this post had mysteriously disappeared. ha ha As you can see I didn’t update my progress any further..because I FAILED! Yes I finally admit it. My guilt was further increased by my daughter’s daily question: “What are you going to report on that exercise article?” That was followed by her giggling.
Oh well…try number 52 is sure to work.
