Getting Started: Just Do It!
Sunday, May 24, 2009 at 10:08PM I don't know why getting started with a new project or change is so hard, but it hasn't gotten easier for me over the years.
But, here I am, posting my first thoughts in my new journal here at Good Body Buddies. I talked with Sylvia on the telephone today and she spent the day in "active rest" which means that although she worked hard in the yard, she didn't do either Plan A or B in our strength training plan.
I spent a couple of hours kayaking today. Great weather, so I got an upper body workout and a day soaking in the beauty of the Skagit Valley.
If you are curious what Plan A and B are, go to Prevention.com to see the exercise plan we are following:
Two Week Turn Around: Shrink A Size in 14 Days
This article explains and illustrates the two week turn around program that combines strength training and walking. Sylvia and I are also following a two week diet plan. We're decreasing calories, increasing protein, limiting fat to "good fat" or MUFA's. More about this later.
I just wanted to get started. Coming tomorrow--my "before" pictures and baseline measurements for my inch loss goals.

Kate & Sylvia,
Kudos to the both of you for documenting your journey. As someone who has documented my own colon cleanse journey, it's wonderful to be able to read how you are setting your goals and then learning and watching as you obtain them. The end result is great but it's what you learn along the way that is the ultimate benefit for those of us following you.
It's nice to know that I'm not the only one who hates changes. I dread getting up and having to exercise but I know it's something I have to do if I want to remain in good health. I have looked at the Prevention site and this looks doable to me! Thank you for sharing that great piece of information!!
I look forward to reading how the two of you are doing as you take it a day at a time.
I wish you both success along your diet/exercise journey!
