Day 7 - Mom and I walked the mall yesterday. I think I've finally gotten her to the point where she wants to start exercising. She bought one of those huge balls at Dick's, mainly because the person at her chiropractor that helps her with workouts to keep her back and hips in decent shape has her doing squats with one. When her tush hits the ball, she knows it's time to stand back up. Anyway, we walked everywhere around that mall, even bought a few clothes - I got a few dresses, and they're very clingy, so as I keep up with this workout stuff, they'll fit all the right curves and I can show off how my hard work has turned out. This shall be awesome!
Day 8 - For the first day, I got up and actually wanted to exercise. I'm hoping this trend continues, as otherwise I have to force myself to exercise. I think the dresses from yesterday, and the fact that I can feel hard muscle under my stomach flab is what is my motivator. Zach has been helping as well, which is awesome. I'm not comfortable enough to workout with him yet, but just knowing he's cheering me on from the other room helps. I may model the dresses for him later.
I did two sets of each rep today, and we're supposed to go walk around the Jeff antique show later, so I'll try to remember to take my pedometer with me. What I really need to do is buy a new one - I'm not entirely sure I trust the one I have, as I've had it for years.
I also have another system to keep myself accountable, and it only cost me $3. I have old flower vases lying around with nothing to put them in, so I dragged two out and bought a 2 pound package of glass beads (champagne in color so I can use them for decor stuff later). One jar is filled with all the beads, the other jar gets a bead each day I work out. I don't get anything in the end - the beads don't transfer to some form of money - just the satisfaction of being able to put a bead in the emptier jar. As of today, I'm up to 8 beads, and it feels AWESOME.
