Day One

I'm the queen of the term day one...I jump on almost every bandwagon with glee, gusto, and amazing energy. Unfortunately, this energy doesn't tend to last more than...oh..say, a week. I've been in a rut lately. I trained and ran a marathon last June but wasn't willing to commit to another training run this Spring. It took too much time away from my family. So I need a new inspirtation, a new muse...if you will. Really, I need a new bandwagon to jump on. I spent some time alone at Cannon Beach and watched one too many infomercials of an exercise program called Insanity by the makers of P90X. Now, I'm not endorsing it, I'm not a Beach Body Coach, and I will get no money off telling you about their program. It really isn't about the program, it's about a journey of finishing something I say I'm going to start. I haven't even recieved the dvd's yet or done one of the workouts, I might hate it.
I'm not really overweight, but I'm a little overweight. I have never stuck with any kind of strength training program for longer than a couple of weeks. If you see me in clothes, you'd say, I'm average. I've always said..well in 10 pounds then I'll do this, or wear that,or try this. I'd like to see what happens after those 10 pounds...or see if those 10 pounds really matter in the first place.
I work with amazing people that are encouraging and funny and we laugh a ton during lunch. Today at lunch, my dear friend Snyder said...you need to start a blog. It will help keep you motivated and you can post your thoughts and people (him and probably a couple other friend that will follow) can encourage you. I decided...why not? Something different and it would be fun to look back at the progress I've made (hopefully).
I'm going to tell you my rules I've made for myself. It's the circle of success for Sally. I have to do the video every day as it's posted by the program creators and I have to make attempts to eat healthy. I don't have to eat perfectly but I will make attempts to follow some sort of healthy eating plan.
I'll post once a day regarding the progress and pitfalls that I am making and hopefully this will serve as interesting forum to look back at my progress.
