Getting motivated

Ok, so I know I am one of the corniest people on the planet, hell, watching Home and Away can bring a tear to my eye at times, but am I the only one getting sucked into that Special K "do something just for you" ad on TV at the moment? Maybe it's due to my "I'll exercise tomorrow" attitude... I know I really should exercise but there just always seems to be something better to do, or an easy excuse for not doing it... which leaves me staring at my love handles after scoffing down a bowl of pasta in front of The Biggest Loser.

One of my closest friends surprised me recently by announcing she will be taking part in a triathlon, even though she is not typically into strenuous exercise (much like myself). Her give-it-a-go attitude impressed me so much and so far she has stuck to her word, walking and jogging for two hours every night, swimming laps and even giving up smoking to reach her goal. So if she can do it, why am I still sitting on my butt?

I'm going to allow myself to be inspired by the blatent Special K plug and make a promise to myself to take the time to exercise. Hey, I might even take the 2 week challenge and see where I end up! Wish me luck : )
