The Five Day Challenge

Exercise is the hardest for me.  I really feel like I have got the food thing down. I am counting my points, eating healthier, and making sure that I stay away from the trigger foods.  I am really doing great and feel positive about the way things are going. What I struggle with a lot is getting the gym.  I really don't like it but I know that while the pool is closed until next May I need to find a way to exercise.  And the gym is it.

I have challenged myself to get to the gym 5 times every week.  I am going to count those times every week here on my blog and on my Facebook page The Shrinking Rose. It is probably the only way that I am going to get my butt to the gym. I have to find some motivation to get there and being accountable.  I think that I don't like it because I spend a lot of time in the gym in high school.  I was a competitive shot

putter so I was in the gym most days in the gym lifting weights.  It got old and I have not been able to find the spot in brain that makes it enjoyable.  I know my fiance is doing better at this then I am.  So I made it impossible for me not to do it.  I have to get there.  If I want to reach my goal, I have to find that sweet spot.

Day one and two are down.  I will be going to the gym early today since I get to work at home today. Tomorrow my gym bag will be packed and put in the trunk and off to the gym I will go when work is done.  Thursday means a deviation as I am going to dinner with family but I will get there on Friday with Tim.  It will be great to go there with him.

For me 5 days is no longer a nice to have but now a need to have. Changing my life one pound at a time.
