Do I dare...

I've had a really bad bout of fatigue the last couple weeks and the only thing that helps is exercising but it takes so much will power to get out the door and to the gym. My body simply cannot remember the after workout feeling from day to day enough to get it there each day.

But I worked out today and feel so good right now that I'm going to be obnoxious and set a personal, visible to the blog world goal. It is the first day of October. I'm going to commit to exercise every day in October. I might be insane. I'm committing to a mere (at least) 20 minutes/day goal. I have a great pilates video that is 20 minutes long so I'm using that as the bottom line goal. Of course I can do more than 20 minutes (and should) but I will have days that 20 minutes is all I'll be able to do because of other scheduling priorities.

Think I can do it? Anyone want to commit with me? And yes, I will post a quick update each day. So I wonder if I don't change eating habits if I will still lose weight with this goal... hmmm... I'll let you know in 30 days.
Panicking hitting the post button right now...

I have been thinking of that same goal. BUT I can't start, really I don't want to start until the 6th. Will you let me join the Erin Workout Club than?

P.S. Thanks for the quilting offer. I may just take you up on that....

I'm in...just two days late. I HAVE to get up in the morning and run. I've been meaning to re-start for the past 3 years. I was doing so well in Columbia, MO...then we moved to Illinois...then we moved to Virginia...and I haven't gotten back into the habit. October sounds like a great month to recommit. Thanks! :)

Good for you, I tried to work out everyday, but then I slowly started skipping days and then eventually stopped. I don't know if I can commit though....I'll blame it on the homework for now :) haha, but let me know if you can lose weight but keep the same diet, I've always wondered that for myself...
