The No Excuses Project: Getting fit

It might seem like the goal of getting fit is the same as losing weight and I suppose they can go hand in hand. But there are plenty of skinny people out there that can’t make it up a steep hill and that’s what makes it distinct.
Not being skinny can even serve as an excuse for getting to this later. Unfortunately it’s not something that can be achieved sporadically – lifting weights or going on a hike once every two months will not get you a cumulative result. Without a doubt, I don’t have time and I’ll get to it later have been my favorite excuses for not making an effort. And yet as goals go this one plays into so many of the others from travel and treasure hunting to photography (got to get up that mountain!)
Next week: The steps to make it happen
Holding myself accountable:
- Treasure hunting: more research and concrete plans for San Diego
- Travel: on track for a week exploring San Diego in September
- Writing: no action this week but clear steps outlined for the next few months
- Photography: research and submission for a multi-leg competition (I guess finding these things a week before the deadline beats a week after)
- Jewelry: a quiet week except for planning next steps
- House projects: a week off to recover before tackling the closet again
- Garden: keeping up with the plan
- Losing weight: finally making some strides to forging a new exercise routine
- Friends and family: on track for making time to socialize
- Romance: made some changes to my environment with more to do
