Getting ready!

Today I can honestly say that I REALLY feel like I'm starting to feel positive and motivated again! Why is this you wonder? How can things change so drastically in a few short days?

I wish I could completely answer that. How do you switch from mildly depressed about feeling bad about your body, to positive about upcoming change (and looking forward to the work that will get you there)?

Part of it was reading Scott's blog, and seeing how other people also tend to fluctuate from a healthy body with good eating habits, to a less than ideal shape and poor eating habits. Also, I opted to take up his 30 Day Burpee Challenge as a New Years resolution - I posted this in my status of my Facebook and flippantly suggested friend might want to join me. And you know what? They DID! I created a little Facebook group for the 11 of us to post our daily successes. It feels like I have cyber workout buddies!

Also, I found a quiet space on my floor in my office building where I can do lunch workouts! Today I brought in a mat and stability ball. I'm also going to take some time to prepare a few 30 minute workouts that I can just grab and go without much mental effort. I'm secretly hoping I might be able to convince my buddy Shanan to join me in this endevour!

Today is also day 2 of eating healthy and it feels good. I'm using Daily Plate again because I like the way it is easy to use and makes me accountable to everything I pop in my mouth without thinking first!

So, that's it for today....
