What was I thinking?!?

3 down and 28 more to go.  It sounded like a great idea...'hey, we should commit to going to the gym every day for the whole month of August and just see what happens'.  That was 3 days ago.  Not wanting to disappoint my friend/new workout buddy, my answer...'Ooookay'. 

You should know that my weight has been a big struggle in my life for at least 20 years.  I am a yo-yo for sure.  I have had some good success (and some not so good success) through the years.  I have never starved myself and I have always tried to ere on the 'healthy' side of trying to loose weight...but, I will admit to a few fads.  My goal, to loose 60 lbs.

So, the question here is not was this a great idea?  That answer is simple: enough is enough!  I need to loose this weight, I pay for a gym membership that I hardly use, my gym is less than 2 miles from my house and most times my friend picks me up (I don't even have to drive there!), and finally...after 20 years, I know what works and what doesn't work (for me).  And I know that my best weight loss has been when exercise is involved. 

OK, so then, what is the problem???

My commitment level sucks!  I can't ever stick to it for very long.  I start out great!  After a while (even when I am seeing results), for whatever reason, I completely sabotage myself! 

In an attempt to "work" on this, I have decided to try to concentrate on my "Commitment to Commit"!

3 days down, 28 to go...
