Blast-Off

I am putting myself on

It has been weeks since I have been to the gym, thought I thought about going every-single-day! I am not sure why I have been so poor on execution. 

Last night I forced myself to the gym after dinner, though I would have rather sat on the couch watching the Olympics. Since I have been so very absent from the gym I decided I would take it easy and just do a half hour. 

While there I figured out what I would get myself for my birthday - I am going to do a minimum 30 minutes a day of intentional exercise. EVERY DAY for the next 365 days. To prove that I have been at the gym I will post a photo of something related to my workout each day (thanks for the idea, Becky). I am going to chronicle where I am now and on my 33 birthday I hope to show myself that doing a little bit each day can add up to big changes. 

In addition to my dailiy posts about what I am doing in the gym, pool, at home or on the streets I will also post things that I find inspiring, tips, progress photos (this is a BIG deal as I am so very self-conscious about the way I look), recipes I try & enjoy, and workout routines I try.
