Ooooh I am intrigued!! One of the things I thought of was that I would reward myself– for every ten days of working out I would get myself a new (exercise) dvd or video game. I figure this way it’ll keep things interesting and diverse. I’m going to look at those now!

2 DVDs, 30 Day Shred & Ripped in 30. The workouts on both are about 24 minutes long. They are hard but short. I found the first 4 days of each level to be the worst. Keep going chica, you can do this!!

I know! I am trying hard to be firm about that. I went to bed at 10 last night. And I am trying very much to be very conscious of what I am eating. I’m trying to eat a lot of fruits and veggies and I’m trying to drink nothing but water.

You could spend ONE of those two weeks somewhere awesome in December (like Florida *ahem*). I feel guilty using vacation as well but I do like to have a good solid week off at the end of December. Plus I’m trying to get into the habit of doing a summer vacation trip as well. And then add a sprinkle of days off intermittently.

That’s pretty interesting you found the two differences. It is hard to maintain a good balance the more burners get turned on. And like you said, I have a lot cooking right now. It’s too easy to get swept into cruise control/survivor mode. So yeah, a pause is necessary.

YES. That is a key motivator for me. If I feel better, I can be better for my kids and my boyfriend and my family.

I did read The Secret a long time ago and while I do believe that we have more control over our lives than we believe, I don’t believe in the core of the book. I believe in thinking about what you want and clearly fleshing it out but I don’t go as far as the book does. I’ve been believing we are the authors of our lives for a long time now. It’s just easy to forget that and slip into victim mode.

It’s NOT frivolous, not at all. It’s just maintenance. Yes it’s a first world problem but it’s a good one to have. And yeah that’s exactly how I felt– it was a selfish sort of thing but now I’m finding it’s just like you said– not ignoring me.

Funny enough I am SO SORE today and everyone keeps telling me– two weeks, just push for two weeks. So I’m trying but man I am FEELING it. Do you have a DVD of hers or the video game?
