Three weeks to go to hit my exercise goal.
As I've previously mentioned, I'm not the most consistent person in the world. Generally my efforts in achieving a goal start strong and finish early. Two to three weeks into it and I'm ready to move onto the next big thing.
I guess proper motivation really holds sway for me.
The other night, Caren and I were talking and marveling that this goal didn't end like so many of my other efforts do: prematurely. It's now easy (or at least easier) to exercise than ever before.
A couple of things have contributed to my success:
- Proper motivation(Doesn't everyone say that rewarding yourself is an excellent idea?)
- Not pushing myself too hard (it's much easier to want to hit the treadmill when I know I'll feel good afterward)
- Focusing on being consistent, and not expecting physical results (which I have seen in endurance build-up. I've seen virtually no weight loss. That's a future goal.)
It's been an interesting um... exercise... in goal setting and achieving.

Good for you! My exercise has morphed into climbing the stairs in the powerplant. I have to do boiler inspection some time anyway.... so I just combine business with torture... I mean fufilling self improvement. :)
