I don't do the whole New Year's resolution thing...mostly because nobody, including me, is going to start on January 1. We all say that we will start on the 2nd or Monday or whatever day, but it never happens. Instead, I make up some arbitrary goal on my birthday and do it then. It works pretty well for a while and then it starts dying off like most everything else. So my NEW birthday resolution is (and I am going to keep it this time!)...I am going to work out every day of my 28th year (or at least do something super physical)! I usually pick up the whole working out thing for a month or so, then I get busy, and drop it for another month or so. So I am getting serious about it! I got up before 8am this morning (remember, its Saturday) and ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes. Pretty good for someone who hasn't put forth much physical activity all summer (it's way hot in Mobile...).Anyway, so I know you are wondering why there is this random picture of Dara Torres. Well, when was in high school, I had a big poster of her and Amy Van Dyken (4 gold in '96) on my wall. Dara Torres is amazing. I mean, she's 41! So she's my hero. If I look half as good as that, then I will wear a bikini on my 41st birthday and paste it onto the front of Time magazine. So here's to working out...that I may one day look half as good as Dara Torres!
UPDATE: It's been a week since I turned 28...And I have worked out every day!!! It's actually been a lot easier than I thought. I just get up in the morning and figure out when I can squeeze in 30 minutes of exercise and then just do it...No more excuses!
