Are you up for the challenge?

From the keyboard of A.Tann

8/2 - I heard somewhere that new habits can be formed in just 30 days. So I've been struggling with my exercise motivation. It's hot...I'm tired...have something better to do...always an excuse. And we all know about excuses. "Excuses are the tools of the incompetent. Built upon monuments of nothingness. And those who specialize in them, seldom amount to anything." Or something like that. Anywho, I realized that I needed a swift kick in the butt. Especially since this 1st year after surgery is crucially important and sets the tone for how well you will sustain your weightloss over time. So I found myself debating on what to do. No, I haven't joined a gym yet...but I decided I don't need to. I pulled the dusty exercise equipment that I have accumulated over the years and figured I'd start there. We also have a fitness room at work and there is always Wii Fit and Michael Jackson Experience (one hell of a workout) so for now I'll save the monthly membership fees and go in at home. So whats this challenge you may ask? It's simple. Just a commitment to workout for at least 30 minutes a day for 30 days. There is no stipulation on the type of exercise. It could be a full blown workout or a walk around the block during lunch time. Whatever works for you. I like variety so I'll probably switch it up, but the hope is that getting my exercise in each day will become second nature and part of my daily routine. I know I am giving the memo a little late so good thing there are 31 days in August. Are you down for the challenge??

On another celebratory note. The homie Millz is down 7 pounds!! High five friend. lol And whats up with the P90x? You might have to put me on.

Hit me up if you are down for the challenge and we will work to motivate and encourage one another and perhaps celebrate at the end of the month. LETS GO!!
