Day 1. Part 2: Fitness.

If you ask my why weight training isn't part of my routine, I have three well-used excuses for you. Let's deal with them one by one.

#1: Oh... I just don't know how.

It's time to call bullshit on myself right there. I have a subscription to Runner's World, Cassie gets Self, and there are innumberable resources online. If I'm uneducated, it's my fault.

#2: Unless I'm consistent, it won't make a difference anyway.

Well... duh. Get consistent.

#3: I don't have time.

A quick look at my Netflix account would throw that one right out the window.

So, this morning I went to the gym and gave it a modest start. I need a plan... I can't remember who said it, but someone wise once used the words "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."

Changes I can make right away:

1. Bring a notebook/journal to the gym so I can record what I'm doing and make sure this is variety.

It may seem annoying at first, but that's kind of how I felt about tracking food when I started Weight Watchers. That worked, so maybe this will, too.

Changes that will require more effort:

Plan workouts ahead of time so that I'm working major muscle groups each week and have a goal in mind.

Since my WW weeks go from Thursday - Wednesday, I guess I'll make my workout weeks go that way as well.

Here goes nothing!

(Anddd... today was 15 min elliptical, 35 min walk on treadmill, 2 sets of 12 bicep curls, shoulder presses, the unnamed weight thing where you drop it behind your head and work your triceps, and 25 crunches).
