More From NE

Wow! I guess this is the year for close bowl games. I watched most of the Husker game in the Gator Bowl yesterday. I know that Missouri won NW in overtime. The Husker's barely pulled off a victory. Clemson was so close to a touchdown at the end of the game. It could easily have gone either way. I still haven't done any shopping since being back in Lincoln, so haven't gotten any exercise mall walking. Kathy I think that you are wise to establish an exercise plan or routine. I did great yesterday and today getting in my exercise, but next week when I start back to my full time work routine it will be more difficult. I found another good word of wisdom on the N-Lighten NE site. It fits with Kathy's scheduling idea. Here it is: Making an appointment with yourself:

I suggest you look at your calendar and make an appointment with yourself. Block out a time each day or several days a week that is your time with yourself to do whatever physical activity you choose. Physically write the appointment down or type it into your electronic calendar. Putting things in writing means we are more likely to do them. Then, treat your appointment with yourself as a high-priority meeting. Do not reschedule, put off, or cancel this appointment. Treat it with the utmost importance.

Think of it this way. The reward for your time will be incredible. Stress relief, better sleep, increased energy, and a general sense of well-being are all benefits of regular physical activity. Not to mention, all of the health benefits that are also associated with increased physical activity.

Whether you are just starting out or have been engaged in regular fitness activities for a long time, making an appointment with yourself will help you to increase the amount of physical fitness in your daily life.
I know that my blogging will also slow down next week when I am back at work. The site has been very helpful to me with accountability this week and thinking through when I can have my exercise appointments next week. Love to you! Anita
