Greetings!
My husband's producer, Marian, is getting married this weekend. I am just tickled pink to be invited to a wedding. If I were ten years younger, I'd be at the hair salon right now getting my extensions.
Weddings, if you ask me, are one of the biggie moments, a mountain top, if you will, of life moments.
Lately, all I've been to are funerals. The only peak moment that I've been able to enjoy by proxy is that one of my friend's daughter had a baby recently (how young does that make me?) but that is the only peak moment I've been able to mooch in on.
Life is loaded with peak moments when you are in your twenties, even trickling into your thirties;
You graduate, get a job, get married, buy a house , get a dog, have kids.
It's just one fireworks display after another.
Just one toast after another.
Clink, clink.
Then there's the long stretch of space before any more peaks.
And that's not even counting the valleys.
Marian has been preparing for this big wedding day for months.
She, I know, has been working out
like a fiend since she got engaged.
She is extremely motivated and it makes me wish that I, in my workout world , could find a way to motivate people the way she has motivated herself with this upcoming date on the calendar.
It is a big moment for her and her whole family and she is going to be ready.
She's probably had no more than a few carrot sticks and a Pria bar all week.
So the best advice I can give anyone in my Workout World who finds themselves in the
plain vanilla space between life's chocolate/vanilla swirl with rainbow sprinkles
moments
is
to aim for a goal.
Goals, if they are very specific and achievable, can be very motivational and they get us out of the loop in our heads that make it hard to get started TODAY.
Let's not forget exciting. If your goal can be, in any way,exciting, that counts as an extra topping for sure.
Your goal could be lofty, like 72 year old New York Times Health Reporter Jane Brody, who, this year, took her two artificial knees and hiked in Tasmania, then walked all over Sydney and finally biked 35 miles a day on a cycling tour of Vietnam.
Or it could be a practical goal, like aiming to jog the entire way around the block without stopping to rest.
Or fitting into your old wedding dress.
Or giving up wine for a month: not very exciting, I realize, but it might be just what you need to do to fit into your wedding dress, and THAT part would be exciting!
Pick a 5K race this summer that you could train for.
Determine to return to a class reunion in good shape.
I bet when it was time for Marian to get her workout in these past few months, she wasn't so tempted to skip it.
She just did it.
If she got stuck or needed some advice she found someone who could help her. Occassionally I'd get an email from her asking,
"What kinds of core work should I be doing?" or
"How can I tone my arms to get more definition?"
She kept herself motivated, not just through excitement about her wedding day, but also by mixing up her workout and trying new challenges. This gave her satisfying results.
Put an event or an occasion on the calendar. Be sure it's realistic but make it challenging. Tell some people who love
you what your new goal is
and ask them to lovingly support you; or to join you!
Then you have to break it down into measurable portions so that you know what you have to do each day to stay on target.
Write each day's efforts on a chart on the fridge.
Check , check, check it off so you can see your progress.
Your goal doesn't have to be a peak occasion.
When you become chronologically enriched, you have to find ways to bring satisfaction and excitement to the spaces between the big moments, right?
So swim the river,
loop the neighborhood,
bike the state: or county,
quit smoking,
make the big changes that you've been meaning to for years.
In the back of your mind, do you have a nagging improvement that you could make to improve how you feel about yourself?
Do it now!
Especially if it is the type of healthy change that can add years to your life.
Don't wait,
especially if you don't plan on getting married (again) anytime soon.
So listen to NIKE.
Just DO IT.
