I usually take my birthday as a time to reflect on where I am in life and to possibly start a new good habit for myself. My mom sent me a check for a decent amount of money which I received on Saturday. I was tempted to go out and buy some new clothes with this money, but I really need to do something to get myself in shape instead. If I could drop 30 pounds, I have at least 3 pairs of jeans in my closet that would fit me. Why should I waste the money on new clothes when I have perfectly good ones waiting to be worn once more. I know this is easier said than done, but starting tomorrow, I’m going to commit myself to reserving 10 minutes every morning to working out. To help me out with this, I’m going to be ordering the Beachbody 10 minute workout. Q thinks I’m crazy and I’m not going to commit to this, but I think spending the money will keep me committed.

It takes 20 days to build a habit and I’ll be committing to my 10 minutes every morning right when I wake up. If I don’t do this right away, I’ll make excuses not to work out at all and then Q will be right. I think this will give more more energy during the day as well so I can either get something done at home in the evening.
