The plan
OK girls, listen up...
After listening to some of the comments received both here and off the blog (yes, people discuss my blog w/ me in public) I have devised a plan for all of us. Participation is strictly volunteer but I would like to know who is willing to participate so we can be supportive of one another, and also so we can evaluate what is working and what is not.
This is about exercise and how we can get on track to do it as part of our everyday routine and be healthier.
Everyone who is going to participate must think of a daily exercise routine that they would enjoy doing. It dosen't have to be the same routine everyday, in fact varying the exercise may help you stay motivated. Write the routine down by days, ie, Monday walk 3 miles; Tuesday work out w/ weights and take leisurely walk; Weds walk 3 miles, etc. You get the picture. It is your routine, make it yours!
We will follow this routine that we have set up for ourselves for one month! DO NOT THINK BEYOND ONE MONTH! I say this because I keep thinking about having to diet and exercise until Sarah's wedding and it wears me out just thinking about it and then I lose my motivation. The other thing thing about thinking way ahead is that you think you have all this time and then the time is here and nothing has been accomplished. We need to take it ONE DAY AT A TIME.
Also, you must write it down for the entire month--almost like you have scheduled it into your day--that way you have already made time for it and you can schedule everything around your exercise routine.
This will start March 1 so please take the next couple days to develop your exercise plan. If you need music to walk to or exercise to, I have volunteered my husband to make you a CD. He is currently making mine--one song at a time! I think it will be more enjoyable to listen to what I like or can sing along to (yes, I am the mystery walker singing out loud to her self as I stroll the streets of Lawton). So if you need an individual exercise CD made--just get the music to Buggs.
As far as dieting--we all know what WE ARE NOT SUPPOSE TO EAT--so be healthy. I plan on eating healthy during the week and then using my weekends to enjoy my self--with in reason. I am an adult--I should be able to monitor myself, huh?
As soon as I get my routine figured out, I will post it here.
Tell me what you think?

I'm in.
Are we auto-disqualified if we miss a day of exercise though? --- I have some business travel coming up and it's hard to exercise when you are on the road - but I will pack my sneakers!
I like the idea of the team blog too - nice of you to share!

My plan will need to be week by week as my schedule is not consistant. Mostly it will be my Nordick Track machine and walking (OUTSIDE - fresh air, clear the cobwebs, still cold -- will keep me moving!) and weights when I'm too fed up with the rest of the crap. (I don't suppose my flute breathing exercises count????)
I have a couple of VCR exercise tapes if anyone wants to borrow them -- My TV is in storage, so they won't do me any good.
