Exercise Challenge
Lately I've been feeling good about myself but kinda afraid of resting on laurels, you know? Like it's okay to slack off a bit, add dessert, miss a walk, not make much progress with running - stuff like that. Add to that, a friend of mine in London just completed her first 10k run - this girl used to be quite unfit - I am thoroughly impressed with her.
SO when Raspberrycordial referred to Missybelle's challenge to exercise for 21 days starting today, I had to take it up. Not sure if I can do it, mind you, but I sure as heck am going to try. Here are my exercise options as well -
- kickboxing - I do this three times a week actually and have an instructor coming in so I rarely miss it
- walk / jog on the track behind my home
- gym - treadmill / elliptical / weights
I am also going to try to keep to at least 10k steps a day.
I am starting today - all encouragement is helpful!! Now I am off to the gym.

Hi, Priya!
Glad for you to join the few of us who are doing a 21-day exercise challenge. It's very informal. We aren't all starting out on the same date, but, as long as we do - at the minimum - 10 minutes a day of cardio or weight training, we are succeeding! The idea is to make it a habit in our lives.
Check out my blog-post for today, 9/22 (the 2nd one), to see the names of those of us doing it. Then, you can enter them into your Friends list (if you don't already have them). I hope that - since there are only several of us - that we can visit each other often and give a lot of special encouragement.
If anyone else decides to join, they can start out on the date they chose, and then do it for 21 days.
Later, hon!
