So I was a little good in between the badness…I worked out both days I was home.  And I braved seeing my dear Ken-doll trainer, Ryan (seriously…could play Ken in the movie, if there was one). And I worked HARD!  I took care of myself by eating my (good) carbs before working out and I made it through with no shakes and no drama.  I packed my bags with the intention of fitting in a least a walk along the bay or maybe a yoga class with a friend.

But my dear friend Wine was invited to the party each of the nights I was there.  And I couldn’t turn her down.  She’s so lovely and smooth and she slips in so easily you almost don’t notice her.  But the next day you remember she was there.  She left an impression.

I only had one real opportunity to work out, but that idea went out as fast as it blew in.  So here I am, a week later from my last session with Ryan, with no progress or activity to report.

Am I bad?  Or did I just take a week off?  I’m going with the latter because I’ve already scheduled in all my workouts for the coming week and I know I’m going to hit them.  But it’s very hard to shake off the guilt, and I feel like a bit of a fraud.  Stick with me folks – I swear I’m in it for the long run.

The crazy thing is, I’m not nervous at all.  I use this technique constantly:  set a date where others will be counting on something, and you will get it done!  So I did!  I used this conference as the impetus for finishing my conversion to WordPress, launching my blog, and creating my first toolkit.  I did it!

This week I also decided to take my need to workout public with my husband.  I told him I wanted to carve our 1-2 mornings to work out and that I needed his support – not just by watching the kids those mornings, but by making sure I actually went!  Guess what?  I went to the gym two times in the morning this week!  IT WORKS!  I’d been avoiding asking for help (going public) because I knew it meant I would have to do it (kinda like not telling anyone you’re on a diet so if you fall off it no one can call you on it?!)

But in addition to just the “things I got done by ‘going public’”, I believe the theme of this blog to be about my own “going public” with my challenges and triumphs with change.  I am an expert at change management, but I, like you, struggle with it often, and sometimes daily.  This blog is about THAT:  how does the Change Agent deal with change in HER life?  Enjoy.
