Motivationalities

Things that are getting me moving lately:

1) My friend Stephanie (whom I really haven't gotten to spend NEARLY enough time with) is making some major nutritional changes in her life (as well as paying herself to go walking, which is awesome) and blogging about it daily. She's inspiring, and I'm considering a juicer.

2) Another family fitness 'competition' - not about weight-loss so much this time (my sister kicked all of our collective trashes last time), but about how well we accomplish whatever goals we feel we need to meet. It really is easier if you're checking in with other people. Let's get it going!

3) I've been added to a Facebook group for my graduating class from high school. 2012 = 20 YEARS. On the one hand, I have a whole year to dread facing all these people I grew up with, having neither spouse nor children nor career to show off - on the other hand, I have a year to really get into shape so that at least I look good at the reunion (provided I'm not working for the Olympics or developing some theatre in, say, Italy next summer).

4) I'm starting another Master's program in a few weeks, and it's on a campus with a student gym. Plus there's an actual campus, so running should be easy, too. Plus it's in a very small town, so exercise and study just might be all I'll be able to find to do! Plus there's really no better time to make major changes in your life than when you're already making major changes! New school year = major change!

5) *REDACTED*
(It's a surprise. You'll find out shortly - if you don't already know - but trust me, it's motivational.)

Exercise! Drink water! Eat fruits and veggies! Sleep!
