Eleven times

Written by admin on March 30, 2009 – 12:54 am -

That’s the number of days over the past three months I’ve exercised 30 minutes or more, according to my records at Joe’s Goals.

Ouch.

Like most every great plan at the beginning of the year, this one fizzled.

It takes a lot of discipline to be the one out of twenty that will lose a substantial amount of weight and keep it off for life.  (That’s one doctor’s estimate on another site I frequent.)  The other nineteen die young and are miserable for a good part of their shortened lives.  I fear it might take diabetes to get me to change, but I hope not.

Oh well, have a great week everyone! :)

    Now is a great time to reassess your goals and try again. As they say, the successful people are not the ones who never fall down but who keep falling down and getting back up.
