January Doesn't Count

Despite many resolutions, declarations, purchases and promises, January behavior never changed my level of health and fitness.  All of these aspirations were stuck on "the calendar."  They never made it onto "MY Calendar."  Registering for my first race taught me the difference; that a date circled on "MY Calendar" is like magic.  And that magic turns NO into YES.

Even if you haven't seen this in your fitness you have worked this magic.  MY Calendar is what happens when we plan a trip, a move, a wedding, and even dreaded things like funerals,  operations and rehab.  No matter how work or school or politics or weather bombard us, we Find Yes because "MY Calendar" always supersedes the calendar. We flex time, we make a way, we get help, we Find Yes-not someday but NOW.  We just typically, culturally don't apply this concept to fitness.  But, we can.

To merge "the calendar" and "MY Calendar" I chose twelve issues that interfere with my own fitness and are common struggles for my clients.  Although instinct nags at me to wait until all twelve are ready to publish, I am defying that instinct for perfection for the action of progress.    So Hello February 3, 2017 turns out you are now number one.
