Nate January Challenge Team Open To All

[[old] grams]

Hi ladies (and lurking guys)<br /><br />Do you usually need help sticking to your resolution to stay fit-lose weight-get your life together? Here is my yearly sticking point.<br /><br />The problem is finding the time to exercise. Lance is right-its not about the bike (in my case the erg), its about me and my headset. Hence the team name- (It's) - Not About the Erg (NATE)<br /><br />I need help to keep enough time and energy in reserve for myself and keeping myself fit.<br /><br />My goal for January:<br />Erg 1 hour or more every other day between 11a and 2p. <br />Remember when scheduling my day to ask myself first, 'Erg time comes first.' <br />Ask for help if I am not allowing myself enough time to fit exercise into my day.<br /><br />What's your sticking point?<br /><br />grams <br />song title of the day; " We all need someone to lean on'<br /><br /><br />

You are just causing yourself unnecessary restrictions<br /><br />If you only manage a row in the evening does that break the resolution?<br /><br />Why not go for a monthly challenge. That way you can row when you want to and maybe get ahead of the game<br /><br />Good luck anyway<br /><br />John

This way I can let family/friends know when I'm not available to babysit, take phone calls, whatever. It works better for my husband too as we both work at home together. I play loud music and he usually goes and does something away from the noise.<br /><br />grams

Just checked your bio out, very interesting and I am impressed with the before and after photos<br /><br />I must admit I was expecting to be able to click on the photos and go to another link (photos, your trip to England etc)<br /><br />John

Later, Johnny-I'm finishing off a Thomas the Tank Engine quilt for the youngest grandson for Christmas, then cook dinner, wrap pressies. More web stuff will happen after the new year. <br /><br />did a 2000m pb today-23 seconds off my previous time. Enough on the erg, already.<br /><br />grams
