About a month ago, I made a challenge myself: start working out every day. My workouts would be a combination of my typical exercise: yoga, pilates, and walking to places near me (I'm very lucky to have quite a few popular neighborhoods within a 20-minute walk from me, which means I end up spending a lot of time walking to the store, to meet friends, or to get the T. I would track the workouts on the whiteboard calendar in my kitchen, and at the end of every week, if I had exercised every day, I would give myself $5 that I could spend on DVDs (I do love my movies).
After 30 days, I can proudly say that I have a total of $15 in my DVD fund. I did have one bad week, where I missed 2 workouts because of a particularly upsetting situation with a client; however, for the most part, I was a very good girl.
This month, the challenge continues. Yesterday was a bit of an off day (the only exercise I got was a walk to Porter Square and back, which was about 40 minutes of very moderate walking), but Monday and Tuesday were very good days, and tonight I plan on doing yoga before bed, as well as somet time on my elliptical during the Office.
The next step? Getting my diet in line. The last week or so has been pretty good, although yesterday (yes, again) was a bit of an off day as far as dinner went - Nachos and an eggplant burger at Christopher's in Porter. oh. my. goodness. SO good. Today I'm back to relatively normal eating. More on that later.
