Gearing Up
My neck is still killing me, so I'm seeing a doctor tomorrow, and will be hopefully kicking this pain to the curb.
That said, I'm feeling the need to have some sort of motivational event to work towards. I tend to pick things too far in the future, or just flat out lose steam and quit. I'm going to give myself until Monday the 26th to get my pain corrected, but then I'm looking for a new short term fitness goal.
I was watching Weighing In on the Food Network last night while waiting for the cotton sock that I stuffed with dry white rice to heat up in the microwave. They had a three month weight-loss goal for each participant, and weekly exercise goals. I really liked the show and thought about taking that approach for my own benefit.
I mean, I have sort-of been aiming in that direction, but there has been a whole lot of flaking around BigSliceLand, and I frequently find myself looking for the reset button. Just take a look at my sidebar goal tracker. I'm not sure when I last took a stab at that action. Let's not even talk about my demons...I've got my head firmly in the sand over those.
So - I'm going to get this neck thing fixed, and then I'm going to throw myself in to a very structured couple of weeks.
Now I just have to figure out what kind of structure is going to work. I have this idea that I have to be in the driver's seat, and that 'packaged' diets and exercise routines aren't creative or flexible enough for me.
HELLO! I'M A LOUSY DRIVER! I'll be working on my eating plan and workout plan over the weekend, and will post it Sunday night. Let's start a new Month of Motivation!

So...is the month of motivation for March then? What are the motivators? Are you going to post a pic of yourself in the grass skirt and coconut bra at the end? THAT would be AWESOME! =) So..let's get it started, yeah!

We should set up a 3 month Big Slice Weight Loss War. I think it's $10 or something for each person that wants in on the challenge. We can just compete for bragging rights. I'm game if anyone else is into it :)
