Pragmatic Compendium

i breathe, therefore i organize

exercise log.

I need accountability. Some comes from my personal trainer, but I need MORE. So maybe, just maybe, by putting this out here, by putting an exercise log right in front of my face like this, I will follow through consistently.

That’s the theory anyway.

  1. OK, found the log. I don’t know that I would have clicked on it if you hadn’t mentioned it. Can you make the link a different color or somehow stand out in some way? Hey! Don’t you have a treadmill, you can walk at home when being with kids right? This coming from me, home gym girl…..anywho, my Dr says at least 20 mins of exercise every day. Boy, I am going to be in big fat trouble when I go for my thyroid checkup in April. I had better get on the stick.

    Heidi – Yep, I do have a treadmill at home, but the last time I used it, the belt was slipping. Besides, I can’t lower it. There’s an inversion table in the way. I need to get that back to you. I don’t need it so much anymore! (by JSM)

  2. Glad you don’t have to hang upside down like a bat anymore. Good for you for walking a 15 minute mile, that would be like speed 4 on the treadmill, correct? You are my idol.

  3. So here I am, on vacation, in Germany no less and I have time to check up on the walking you haven’t been doing. tsk tsk tsk tsk. If I weren’t terribly busy eating everything that wasn’t nailed down I would certainly have more to say about this issue. Maybe I will go for a walk later to make myself feel better. Except for the fact that it is cold, and rainy, and really cold.
