Workout Challenge

After reading a post on Exhotgirl's blog about being a lazy bum when it comes to working out, I thought I would come clean. My gym membership is paid off and has been paid off since I put it on my credit card May 2008. The membership expires May 2011. So right now the gym is FREE. And I'm not going.

I'm going to challenge myself to go to the gym three times a week for 4 straight weeks. If I can accomplish that, I will reward myself with a new pair of workout pants that actually fit me. (I bought some today at Target, so I will put them up until a month from now.) The challenge will start on Monday 10/26.

It makes sense that I'm not losing weight like I want and I'm not going to the gym. I get mad at the scale b/c I think I did good in a week. When in reality, I'm not tracking my daily food intake and only working out once or twice.

A few months ago, I told myself I wanted to be in the 140s for my birthday. With two weeks until said day, I won't be making that goal unless I become deathly ill or loss a couple of limbs. And let's hope that doesn't happen.

I'll update this blog with how the challenge is going and what forms of exercise I'm doing. It would be great to be smaller by Christmas/New Years.
