It has been said that it takes 21 days to form a new habit or break an old one. Do something consistently for 21 days and your body and mind will make it a habit.

I will just start this by saying that I have never been able to stick with a weight loss or exercise plan for a consistent 21 days. EVER.

I know what you’re thinking… she’s going to talk about THAT again.

You’re right.

I’m going to try 21 days of exercise. No breaks. Every day I will challenge myself to do at least 30 minutes (preferably 40-45) of cardio exercise for the next 21 days. I started on Friday night,after my debacle on the scale made me feel like a fat, lazy, worthless slob. (Nothing says success like a little positive reinforcement, eh?)

So here’s where we’re at so far:

Friday’s results: 40 minutes total
Elliptical – 20 minutes
Treadmill – 20 minutes

Saturday’s results: 45 minutes total
Elliptical- 30 minutes
Treadmill – 15 minutes

Today will be Day 3. Of freakin’ TWENTY-ONE.

{sigh} I can do this.
