A year from Now you may wish
You had started Today
-Karen Lamb
Not sure
yet how to make this work. The original topic of this post was
something about the mind, I think. It was also supposed to be out on Monday. I
didn’t get lost. I just don’t have an
angle. I don’t feel I have the
information that I would like to impart, didn’t have the time to research,
understand and write about in an inspiring and entertaining fashion. So this essay is late and random, very very
random. I call these post free write essays in reminiscence of
my elementary school days. The teacher
would write a topic on the board and we, the students, will have 10-20 minutes
in the period to write about it any way we wanted to. Those last two sentences might seem a little
off, but the teacher would also give a general idea. The general idea for this essay is what I am
doing to acquire lifestyle change. What
does this mean for you the reader? You will
be entertained and mildly inspired by a body of work with no plan. The main idea will always be wellness,
health and lifestyle change.
Usually I have a paragraph or two jotted down in composition book
dedicated to the project. The definition of wellness mini-project is
still in the mixed up stages, still gathering information. Considering looking
for a book on the subject. Nothing has been decided yet. I
scratched the first three paragraphs on Monday.
So is this still a free write essay?
That is something else to think about.
The 100 days project is well on its way and although most of what
I am doing now should have been done on hiatus. Research on the
various subjects of each essay, so that I can write a better body of work. Here is an example of what was done over the
weekend. I have written about
establishing an exercise plan or routine over and over again, if not here on
this blog then on another. With the exception of walking 15 city
blocks, last year for 3 months, I have not tried since. Starting an
exercise plan and routine was something that is very important to
me. It is a part of implementing a healthy lifestyle change. I
never actively looked into exercise plan the way I should have in the last two
project that focused weight loss and lifestyle change. I thought
about doing the Insanity or Zuma programs but I can’t sit down and watch any of
the routines to the end. I get bored.
For a
brief time I joined the online gym called Gym Box. The most exercise
I did on the gym box was a stretch class, before the 15 block walk, it was very
beneficial. However I didn’t know where to start at the gym box, which class
minus the stretch will be useful for me.
Many of the classes, I found had an equipment requirement needed to
participate in the class, things I didn’t have money or time to buy. Was
that self-sabotage? Should I have looked harder to no equipment
classes, not sure? I wonder if the Daily Burn is the same way,
something else to research.
Anyway to continue with this story. I have recently
become a fan of Youtube for various reason entertain, education and
encouragement. I did a search and came up with over several
videos on how to start an exercise plan. Of course these were
targeted for weight loss instead of just being healthy. I
decided to continue with them anyway, because even though my main goal is life
style change weight loss is the valuable side effect for me.
I watched the short videos by two women, not using their names now
because I am attempting to see how effective their programs will be with
me. Do they clash or can I utilize parts
of their programs to improve?
These are the wayward things going through my head right now. Attempting to write it out in comprehensive
story took more out of me than I would like. I am still glad I made myself adhere to the
300+ word count rule. Otherwise, my
essay would be twenty useless words and most likely an apology. Instead of
posting an essay 3x a week, it may have to be 2x a week, for my sanity. I may increase the posting as I develop this
skill.
