Calling all nags - my New Years Resolution

[varrin]

I need your help. For some of you, this will actually be fun. I'm speaking of the nags in the crowd. You know who you are. You put on that whiny voice and say "Haven't you finished __________, yet?" So when you're tempted to nag your kids or spouse, consider that they really don't what to hear your nagging, but I do! No, this isn't license to

What is your routine?

Could you post your routine? It might help some of us who also need to do more exercise and tend to have erratic schedules. If you have an updated powerpoint to go along with it please make it available.

I suggest that you keep a "calendar". It should include:

-The dates when you did the exercises
-Note if you did them in full and if they were cut short for some reason
-List days when you should have done the exercises but did not. Record why you did not. Sick, Feeling lazy, Out too late listening to jazz, etc

Periodically post the calendar here and make it available to anyone who's opinion of you matters to you.

Whether you exercise or not do not cheat on the above!

This will this provide social pressure to keep you going, which I know you want from your original post.

Also, listing the dates and reasons that you did not exercise when you should of might provide you with information that will help you modify your activities or the exercise program to make it more doable.

Good luck!

I do have a presentation but it's in ODP (open office presentation) format... It still needs some adjusting, but I can send it to ya... can ya read that?

And I do keep a calendar. I don't actually have a set schedule for doing the workout (other than to aim for nearly daily), but my goal is not to have a rolling week go by with any less than 3 workouts in it (unless I'm sick). As important as lazy and jazz might be.... hah! Never occurred to me to actually share the calendar, though... I suppose I could do that. I've collected a few Facebook nags and have revealed specifics to some of them. ;)

So far, I'm doing okay. Had I not worked out tonight, I would have blown it, but I'm on track again now (might get 4 in this week if I get ambitious on Saturday).

Thanks for all the great ideas and encouragement! :) Sorry I was slow.... I was... umm... working out!!! ;) Hah!
