No good at lists...

So I have this list on the side of my blog because I had this brilliant idea that I would actually type in all of the workouts I do......heh, LOL....yeah right!

I'm not a record keeper! I have to keep records for our personal finances and my tiny hobby of a home based business. But to do it for something like a food journal, or an exercise journal, or even when I was a kid I didn't keep up with a diary or anything.

I guess I will plug in anything I remember when I check in but I cannot promise that I list every workout I do. Maybe someday soon I will get more into writing each one down. Maybe when I see some more progress I will get all excited again and feel a huge need to share every little accomplishment on paper or in this blog and on face book just to have a record. I mean, I like the idea and all, it is a good one. I have been very encouraged and inspired by peoples success stories who wrote down every single workout, every time they skin brushed or maybe wrote down every morsel of food they ate. To me that turns it into work and even obsession with it. So, I can't write it ALL down. I will write some of it down, a great deal of it but I can't say it will all be here or anywhere in writing. Just not my thing, doesn't work for me. Doesn't help me. Sometimes it has hindered me to keep a food journal.

So, I will just stick with what works and what works for me and what keeps me going is sharing my thoughts and feelings through this journey.

And while it is nice to see my workouts all listed I will just not come and jot it down every single time, then I may forget it happened and never write it some of them down. And that is ok, so long as I am doing them! That is what counts. You will more than likely hear of it if there was something significant about a particular workout. Maybe I had to work through a lot of emotions before I got my rear in gear. That is what helps me, writing out those feelings. They kept me trapped for a long time and so I always have this need to get them down on paper.

If I can't sleep, sometimes I just write and write then I rip it up and throw it away. It is like a huge relief to get those thoughts out.

So, yeah. I guess this blog is just for me. That is kinda the point. I need it, it wouldn't be here otherwise. Anyone who joins me here is really awesome for doing so. Thanks. :)
