A while back, I posted that I was going to start working out. Then, I continued making excuses for myself. Whether they were “oh I’m too tired” or “I have too much homework” they were pretty constant. But when I had my revelation, it really hit me that if I am serious about feeling better about myself then I am going to have to get serious about working out. Now, I am not about to go jump on the treadmill and run a mile, partially because I don’t think I could, but also because I wouldn’t enjoy doing that and I know it wouldn’t stick, at least not yet. So here is a little game that I created for myself based off a few things I’ve seen on Pinterest.
Here’s the plan. I made about 50 of these little paper stars, possibly more, and each one has an exercise written on the inside of it.
Every day that I can’t make it to the gym for whatever reason. I’m going to do two things; one, I’m going to play at least six songs on Just Dance 2, and two, I’m going to pick at least 5 of these little gems out of the jar. As the time continues to pass, I’m going to increase the number of stars I pull from the jar, but doing too many now, would probably kill me. Having these cute little stars, makes it like a game, which I can get into.
You can do similar things with popsicle sticks, or even just normal pieces of paper that are crumbled up into a ball or folded up, I just decided to make little origami stars because I think they are super cute.
Every Friday, I’m going to do a quick post about how working out is going for me. I may post about it other times throughout the week if I do something exceptional, but for now, once a week is a definite.
Let me know if you have any suggestions!
