A Month To Form A Habit

I recently responded to someones post about this and thought it would be a good blog topic. This is something I heard quite a while ago that has stuck with me. Any time I am struggling to change something, I remember this saying. In this instance, it has to do with the gym. I do NOT like the gym. I don't like the crowds, seeing people I know (I work at a local bank, and I know half the people there), feeling like people are looking at me etc, etc. I just don't like it! However, I signed up telling myself that if I could do this for one month, then I'm good. Why only one month? Because I know that if I could be consistent with one month, than I obviously have it within me to make it a habit. And guess what? A month has come and gone, and I'm still going strong! I have left myself with no excuses. If I ever stop going, it will be because I gave up. I AM NOT GIVING UP! I love the results I've seen even in this short span of time. The positives obviously outweigh the negatives. I have lost 54 pounds in less than 4 months. See this as an encouragement to you! If I can do it, anyone can do it!

Amen to both of these posts. I have forced myself to sign up for a weight loss challenge at my gym, I'm doing a 2-mile walk for March of Dimes and I'm signing myself and my son up for a 5k for his school in April. I figure if I make enough commitments, I won't let myself down. :) Good luck and blessings to you!

Good for you- I too had to force feed the gym but it is getting better. Its the routine of getting clothes together and towel etc,, I live on higher floor, so i bought this shopping thing with wheels and another duffle bag for pools tuff,,, and i have 2 to change... I dont have a washer or dryer in unit, so I can just swap out and take with me in am/ and when I return along with lunch bag etc etc etc, feel like the bag lady.
