Motivation Link

This link has some great ideas to motivate me to get fit and healthy.
The main ideas are to set realistic goals, start a blog/journal (tick), look at photos where I look good, get an exercise buddy, start a class, get a trainer etc.

My plans:
1. record my food, exercise and thoughts on this blog each day.
2. do something every day
3. plan meals for the week and stick to them
4. get on the bike as well as getting out for a walk
5. try something new - like the free yoga class

This is just a start. I want to keep it going!!!

Commitment

So I have decided this might be the commitment I need to record my exercise, food and general well-being. This is the beginning and I hope it continues.
