Primary Season is Over!!

We all need to take a look at and take our lead from the political arena. Senator Clinton's wonderful speech aside, the primaries are over. It is time to move on to the big event, the November elections. In our case it should be an end of the year event to show off our progress. We need to look back and reflect on the last few weeks of our campaign to gain back control over our lives and lose these last few pounds to reach our goal weight. The kid gloves are off and we need to get ready for our BIG event. You can decide on the specifics, but you need to participate in a major event before Election Day on November 2nd. This could be a walk, run, ride, hike, or any other challenging physical activity.
Signing up for a walk or race is a great way to get in shape. You're only competing against yourself. The goal is just to make it to the finish line in one piece, not beat a certain time or certain someone. Sign up for something, a dance class, a boot camp, a hike, bike tour.... Schedule one event for each month this year! One event may burn off one holiday meal (i.e. one reasonable plate of potato salad and 1 hotdog) If you're too shy to go out and exercise alone, let me know and maybe we can find someone to run and train with you or go power walking with you. You can try joining the Jersey Shore Running Club (JSRC), which provides beginner and advanced runs. Let me know your thoughts and moreover your hesitations......are you having trouble committing, trouble finding adequate "me time." Things that you will find enjoyable are not going to jump out and bite you. You have to go out and look for activities. Be pro-active. Put your foot down and create an action plan and a list of events. Refuse to have regrets this November!!! In case you can't think of anything to train for...I wanted to mention: if any of you are looking to burn some calories and dedicate some time to getting fit- there's the Bradley Beach 5-k run and fitness/fast walk in August and the Urbanathalon in late September to train for. Do you want to get super fit before the fall?? Let's do it together. I promise to sign up if you sign up!! This can really be "Change we can beleive in!!"
