just getting started...

[Guest guest]

so i've been trying to motivate myself to start working out regularly

and i've been managing to do it intermittently and then I came across

Steve's website. So i've gotten a bit more inspired.

I thought you guys would like to hear an interesting thing that I

heard on Oprah the other day.

It takes doing something 21 times before it becomes a good habit. 21

times for the average person in the average situation. I guess that

explains my lack of staying power, i usually flaked out around 10-15

days, telling myself i had been so good that i deserved a day off and

then another and another... and then i've lost the routine.

So i'm on day 5 of working out every day and i'm marking them on the

calendar until I reach day 21 to see how it feels different from all

the other times i flaked before reaching the 1 month mark. So now i

dont have to actually aim for the 1 month mark I can aim for 21 days

and see if that works for helping me stay in a routine.

What ever little mind trick I can use to keep me going. Especially

since I don't have a physical destination like New York awaiting me.

And to the woman who said she wondered why some of us have so little

faith in god... Faith in god is easy, keeping faith in your self and

your fellow human being is much more difficult. Be worthy of someone

elses faith in you, and maybe they can lean on you instead of food as

a crutch. Think about it...

laurie in portland oregon,
