Doing something for myself this holiday season

This fun box just came in the mail a few days ago, and it’s mine, all mine.

It’s my new set of workout DVDs, and as soon as it arrived, I couldn’t wait to get started with it. And that “tomorrow” was Thanksgiving. Sounds crazy, right? At least it probably does to anyone who knows my usual coach potato ways.

After a few years of using two kids and full-time job as excuses for not taking care of myself, I’ve recently started working out and eating right. I’m feeling bold enough to talk about it because it has been six weeks since I started–I’d say that makes it officially a new habit.

I’ve got a long way to go, but in six weeks, I lost just shy of 6 pounds and more than 17 inches of flab. I feel great, and I look better, but most importantly, I’m finally putting myself back on the list, as they say, with no excuses as to why I can’t do it, why now isn’t a good time, etc.

What have you done for yourself lately? What are you waiting for? Join me for a fitness challenge group. Workout at home on your own time, when it’s convenient for you for less than the cost of gym membership. Learn how to eat the right foods in the right portions. Best of all, find tons of support and accountability using a Facebook group of like-minded challengers.
