Setting Up For Success

Thanks to John’s post, Identifying My Weakness, I just read a fantastic article written by Jason Calacanis about his weight loss. This is a dream article for someone just starting out losing weight, as I am. Actually, it’s a great article for anyone losing weight! He talks about the 4 things he has learned about losing down to his current weight of 185 pounds.

Ohmygosh! I am so glad I read this tonight! The entire post is great, but I feel like he wrote Step 2: Make working out easy just for me! Thank you very much!  Okay, so we all know I’m fat, and I’ve been extremely lazy the past few years. We also know my starting goal is to get up and move during the commercial breaks of my favorite television shows. Well what easier way to get moving than to put my elliptical machine right in the middle of the living room floor! If my exercise equipment is right there, easy access… what is to keep me from using it? I admit it, I just dusted the thing off and it’s calling my name….

I wouldn’t have considered moving exercise equipment into the center of the room before reading the article. Who wants to look at a treadmill or bike? But after reading all Jason has to say about it, guess where my elliptical machine is going to be. That’s right… center stage!

I might go out and buy that NordicTrack AudioRider 400 bike I’ve been looking at recently.  When I have company we can all gather on the exercise equipment and visit while we are on the move. Well, maybe not…. but then again…
