...in parallel universes--except she's more successful at it than me!
The heroine in my current WIP is big-boned and lovable, and one of her outer goals is to get healthy. She exercises, watches what she eats, and drinks tons of water. She's very intentional about her choices, and even though she struggles she (usually) musters the determination to overcome.
It's a sad state of affairs when conviction sets in every time I sit down to write.
You see, I haven't exercised since I started writing this book. Coincidence? Who knows, but I do notice the difference in my level of energy. Then yesterday I stepped on the scale and saw a number I never planned to see again. Talk about a bummer!
But yesterday's bummer is today's motivation.
Here's my action plan:
*reactivate our club membership this month and start doing some group fitness classes
*drink at least 3 movie-cups of water a day
*eat at least 2 pieces of fruit and 2 ginormous helpings of veggies per day (surely after all the water and veggies I can't be too hungry for Schwan's caramel cream puffs, right?)
*start taking my vitamins
Sigh. As you can tell, this is not my favorite thing to do.
What do you do to stay healthy? Or, like me, do you need to get moving again?

You go girl! I know once you jump back in you'll be successful.
Why is it so much easier to be lazy than be motivated????? We all struggle with this!
In the words of Michael Jackson... "youuuuuuu are not aloooonnneee...."
Yep, need to get moving.
You can do it, kiddo. I think your plan is doable. We exercise because it feels so good when we stop. :)
It DOES feel good to stop exercising, LOL! That is a reward in itself. Making the time to go seems to be the hardest part, but I do NOT like what I saw on the scale. Ugh.
That video was so funny! You and me are in the same boat and I say we abandon ship. :-) Exercise here I come.
Woohoo! It's way more fun when you know your friends are working on it too.
I definitely need to get moving again, but I've kept up with the water intake pretty steadily, so that's helped. But I really do need to get back into my walks.
Good luck with all your changes. You can do it!
