August Objectives

For August I wasn't sure.  Apparently I've decided to read all of Game of Thrones (I know, I know).  But, what with running around - work, going for a visit home - I wasn't sure what to do.  Luckily, a friend came to the rescue, inadvertently at least. 

Anyway, she was saying that she always finds excuses not to work out.  Because "punishment" for not working out - i.e. a forfeit, price - was not enough, she'd pay that.  But she's a super dependable, good friend - so what if her not working out punished us both?  Hence the deal:  she and I work out twice a week during August, not counting our soccer games.  It's not much.  But if either of us misses a session, there's a hellish price to pay:  A Kardashian show.  We have to watch one.  With no internet, no breaks, no phones to play with.  Just all Kardashian, all the time.  That's if we miss one workout.  If we miss two, the price doubles, so it's now THREE Kardashians (one for first session, two for the second sessions).  If we miss three, it's seven Kardashians.  So that is some serious incentive.

So far, we're on track.  We're involving others to keep us honest.  It's going to be... horrible if we miss anything.  So we just can't.  CAN'T, I tell you. 

July Reckoning

A pretty simple one, but I did manage not to weigh myself, and haven't done yet in August.  I definitely link how I feel to how I'm eating and exercising, but it's nice to link that to something specific - i.e. how well I'm treating myself - rather than weight.  Going to stick with this one, I hope.
