Working in the Work Out

It's almost the end of January. Have you been successful with your New Years Resolutions? Or are you still sitting on your couch looking at your computer? No, don't turn it off now...you are already here ♥

Over the years I have made many resolutions that have gone uncompleted. Cleaning the house more, putting on lotion everyday, doing more fun stuff with my kids. Sure, I do my best for a week or so. Or remember in June that I was going to do it. This year I thought I was going to work out more (who's with me?)

Bruce and I bought P90X last year, did it for almost a month - full blown. Did the diet, the workouts, cut back on beer, quit smoking...then I got sick and I had to stop. They never did figure out what was wrong. But it was hard for me to get back started.

So 2012 was going to be my year to get really in shape. I was visualizing my success. Looking at pictures of in-shape women, thinking about the summer when I will be able to show of my new BOD! I had marked which workouts I needed to do everyday in my calendar.

I was doing it...but it only lasted for 3 days!

Take a picture of yourself in the bathroom mirror.

What do you want to fix? (other than needing a tan)

Then look at that picture and GO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Sometimes just thinking about working out seems harder than actually doing it.  Here are some exercises you are probably already doing everyday.

• Stair Stepping - just walk up and down your stairs a couple extra times, or take the stairs at work instead of the elevator.
• Lifting Weights - carrying laundry baskets and taking out the garbage, they are heavy aren't they? I consider that lifting weights.
• Squats - everytime you sit down or stand up out of a chair you are doing squats. Just throw 10 of them in each time you are ready to sit down.

No matter which workout you decide to do, how many times a week you decide to do it, and what your goals in the end are, the most important part is to get it done.

Just make sure you love yourself and love your body...and don't talk down to yourself because you aren't where you want to be yet. Keep working in your work out and eat that piece of cake...just don't eat the whole cake!

Then if all else fails,
put your head on some other chicks body!
