January...

We're already almost one month into 2017. Where are you with your new years resolutions?I decided to focus on two things this year, at least outside my career as an author.One is exercise. My goal was to work out more times a week than I don't. I'm trying to lose weight. And I want to feel better. I've been doing good, but  it's been a struggle. I don't love running. I don't love most exercise, but last year I bought a CIZE workout program. I wasn't the best at it, but I kept trying. This year, I bought Country Heat.I love it. It's dance based. I know, it's early in the process, but I feel stronger. I can feel the workout. And I like the music.I don't dread going to exercise. The session is 30 minutes, with a countdown clock which makes it easier to push through to the end. Liking what I do makes it easier to be consistent.And consistent is my second word. More consistent with workouts, with writing sessions, with touching base with friends.[image error]Both of these words are up on my white board - right under Liliana Hart's quote - "Dreams don't fall into your lap. Make it happen."Exercise plus Consistent equals work. Work plus luck equals success.May you be successful might just be a curse. :)

Ann Fleming I'm right there with you. I got serious about getting in better shape about six months ago. I always hated working out but I have really started to enjoy walking. I have lost 32 lbs. and I feel so much better.
If I can do it, I know you can too.
Keep it up.

Lynn Cahoon Congrats Ann! I lost a lot before my hip replacements by walking. And it gave me time to think. A lot. 32 pounds is amazing.

Ann Fleming I had a knee replacement 6 years ago. My other knee has bad arthritis and I am determined to out off that replacement as long as possible. I am walking (very slowly) a 5K with my daughter 2/18.
Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would walk a 5K.
BTW, I am 68 years old. If I can do it, anyone can.

Lynn Cahoon Let me know how it goes! I know you can do it. :) I'm struggling right now with keeping on track, but I do like my dance routine. It's too cold to walk with the dogs, but as soon as it warms up, I'll be taking them as soon as I get home from work.

Ann Fleming I too am struggling. I am exercising regularly but not losing weight right now. What kind of dogs do you have?
