Ok… So here’s my advice as someone who borders on obsessed with working out (I figure it’s a better obsession than many others so I’m going with it!)… Find a place where you have to register and maybe even pay in advance. I go to two different places (one for Lotte Burke classes and one for pilates and spin) and at each one, you reserve your space ahead of time and there is a cancellation fee. Nothing like the fear of losing money to motivate you! I have also found that by doing this, I am ending up in the same classes with the same people so I look forward to going so that I can see these people. It helps to have those extra incentives because we all know that working out is good for us but we don’t all do it! Good Luck! I bet you’ll get hooked once you do it for a bit- can’t wait to follow your progress!

yes – I saw it as putting me first, too – actually, the putting me first applies to all the other proposed changes. Prioritizing me is a key success factor in this process!

I love it Becky!!! Life gets in the way of working out, believe me, I know! But for me, it combines with the “putting me first once a day”…and I have totally found I’m a better mom for it. I have more patience and can let things go easier. I sleep better at night and awake rejuvenated and started writing again in the morning. So yeah, swallow the frog down…all else will come. Pascal has to go to school an hour earlier but he gets a way better me when we get home. Congrats on your decision…can’t wait to follow your progress!
