Bring it into focus

So I'm realizing this blog is severly lacking the same property I'm lacking in making my goals: f-o-c-u-s. I'm going to use this now to explore and share tips I've thought of while mapping my search for my "inner statue" but haven't quite implemented. Excuses are the worst enemy of anyone trying to achieve any goal but they seem to be even more prominent in the journey of health. I'm sending my statue on a crutch kicking spree.

Starting next Sunday I'll post a 12-sec vid (http://12seconds.tv/channel/gabika99) and blog attacking a common excuse and my way of kicking away that particular crutch. Got an excuse you can't beat or an excuse you've beaten with a simple tip? Feel free to share it! I'd love to hear your ideas.

Also, May is National Running Month and I'm celebrating by starting training for a 10K I'm running at the end of the month. I'll be mixing in Turbo Jam as my cross training. To really prove out my progress I've done all my measurements today and am going to share them here. I'll measure in weekly so you can all see how I'm doing and hopefully that'll inspire you to do the same! (Measurements also tracked on http://www.sparkpeople.com/)

Weight: 158 lbs
