365 days to a 360

Sunday marks the best day of the year, the anniversary of my birth.  In the same way that I enjoy a birthday month, I have decided to embark on a different and new challenge...an exercise year.  I am committing to doing exercise of some sort every day for one entire year.  I am beginning this endeavor the day after my birthday, to be completed on September 2, 2013.  I am not going to set the bar too high, just try to provide more motion and balance to each day.  So the criteria will be physical activity for at least 15 minutes EVERY day.  Where does the 360 come in you may be asking yourself?  I will allow myself five days throughout the year to cheat on this plan.  This will allow for regular life when say I have been up all night puking and all I can muster is the walk to the toilette. 

My hope is that by committing a year to exercise, I will also be committing a year to me, a year to the balance of my being, a year to getting stronger, a year to improving health, a year to demonstrating wellness to my daughter, a year of challenge, a year of growth, a total 360. 


Post Script: While I did not quit drinking coke zero or diet soda entirely, I have cut back tremendously.  I probably average a 1-2 diet sodas a week.  Not bad...just goes to show that when I set my mind to something, I can find success. Now if only I could be more diligent about posting to the blog :)
