Welcome!!

For 2008, as probably many of you, I have made a resolution to work out on a regular basis and get myself in shape. No more excuses about no time and nothing to do - I am going to make the time and use my resources to work out! However, nothing motivates more than friends. So here on this blog, we are going to motivate each other. I will post exercise and nutritional tricks, tips, and hints that hopefully will help you and I keep our resolution to work out. Feel free to post your comments, ideas and share your progress. Let's shape up together! - Stephanie

Tip for the Day

The Perfect Plan

Know what days, times and activities, you will be performing at least one week in advance; one month would be even better. Have the proper clothing and equipment ready. Do not let any obstacles interfere with your plan. Write your exercise sessions in your appointment book weeks ahead of time. Commit to your plan and remind yourself that you deserve to take the time for you.

Great tip! Too often I find that when I make plans too far ahead then something always comes up. I like the last sentence, that I deserve this time for me.

This is a great blog Steph, I'm so glad you started it. Sometimes when I feel I don't have time to go to the gym (or want to go) I exercise with Kate. I hold her and do lunges, or lift her up in the air for repeated reps. She loves it and I squeeze in an quick 20 minute workout. Those 16 pounds of her really make a difference!
