People, what we have here is a STATE OF EMERGENCY.
No, I'm not talking about swine flu. Though technically there is swine involved. See, I've been pigging out. And not exercising. For weeks now.
The broken toe was, it appears, the catalyst that sidelined my fitness regime (if you can call 2-3 days per week on an elliptical machine set at level 2 a "regime") and caused me to seek the restorative powers of Steak N' Shake onion rings. Then there was work stress, coupled with those Lamar's donuts in the break room. And things just went from bad to worse when winter turned to spring and the frozen custard stands opened. ALL OF THEM.
Frankly, I've fallen out of the habit of having good habits.
It stops now. In fact, if you could see me right now, you'd be witnessing me THROWING DOWN THE FIGURATIVE GAUNTLET. I have issued myself this simple challenge: To exercise, every day, for THIRTY STRAIGHT DAYS.
To prove that I'm serious, I've gone one step further. I have ordered a bathing suit online (and my early readers will know that by "bathing suit" I could only mean "tankini"). And if I fail I will be forced to post a picture of myself IN said bathing suit right here on this site.
Which means...I CANNOT FAIL.
So far I'm on day two. Anyone care to join me for the next 28?

Yes! I'm in. Great plan. We will have to figure out some sort of exercise while in IC. By then it will be my day 12 and your day 13.
why torture yourself with every single day? you'll just burn out. do every other day and then it'll be sooo much easier to carry on for the long term...
Good luck!!! I must say you have issued a pretty severe punishment if you fail. Wonder if that would work for me....
