make it your mission to just write 1 blog post a week – that’s it! you can always do more later, but once you get into the habit it’s much much easier. You can do it!!

I have started it :] now I just have to keep on with it – consistency has never been a strong point for me!

Hah! Awesome – you are my new hero :) I LOVE that you got yourself out of bed during those times – something I’d totally do myself if I caught it that late.

So far I’m 6 out of the last 7 days doing this. With that one day missed being after the first day when I over did it and felt it was best to not strain my body for a day, haha… I go on daily walks every morning anyways, which counts for something, but trying to raise that heart rate more when possible. So needless to say I’ve been spending quite a lot of time on Youtube looking for better and better vids :) Helps w/ A.D.D. too!

I just passed 7 years without missing a day (excepting two short breaks for c-sections) and I love it. I think it’s a fabulous habit to make sure you’re active SOMEHOW every day without making wild promises that are so easy to break. There have been times in my life where 30 minutes was a laughable bare minimum when I was running 5 or 8 miles a day, there have been days where I’ve had to get out of bed at 11pm after realizing I didn’t do any exercise, days when walking around campus at work adds up to 30 minutes and I count that, and days where I’m sick enough that a 15-minute stretching routine and a trudge around the block is all I can manage. I love having a baseline amount of physical activity that stays consistent through all of that. All that to say, congrats on making a great choice of exercise plans!

COOL!!! Especially #5 :) Please do start that blog – it’s not only good for holding yourself accountable, but you never know what else can come of it! It’s totally changed my life completely. And it doesn’t cost anything to start! (if you use wordpress or another blogging service)

Start searching for videos! I put ’em full screen on my computer and then turn it so I can watch (and follow along) while I do the exercises :) There’s some really good ones out there so you don’t get bored!

I have a few …

1] exercise “outside” three times a week [my housemate thinks exercising in the gym isn’t as healthy, and he is really persistent and vocal about his thoughts].
2] eat a piece of fruit every day [again with the housemate].
3] read a book every week [must be fiction] – but this one can be caught up on later, I’m not going to be too hard on myself because I know there will be times when I am busier than other times.
4] grow my garden to between 10-15 edible plants [currently at 5].
5] live on 50% of my income [this is the bit where YOU inspired me!].
6] and, of course, keep myself accountable!

Good luck to us all!!

In terms of eating, I’m mostly going to focus on portion control. Good luck in 2014!

I went a little cheaper and got the Fitbit Zip for $50! It clips on and tracks steps, calories burned, activity minutes, etc.

I’m a 28 year old woman with decent BMI and my blood pressure is borderline. I know it’s partially genetic as my dad has been taking pills since I can remember but I’m too damn young for this. I am not in the best neighborhood for jogging but I gotta get active indoors somehow to ensure this doesn’t become a serious problem.
