In our fair city, our local United Way has an annual campaign called, “Coming Alive.” A lot of businesses and organizations participate in it, signing up employees to vow to exercise in order to become more healthy, fit, and to win prizes! The first two weeks one must exercise a minimum of 4 days/ 20 minutes per day and the third week 4 days / 30 minutes per day, with the final week 5 days / 30 minutes. Their hope is after 4 weeks, one will want to continue exercise WILLINGLY. One of my coworkers is our Library’s team captian. After absolutely NO thought, I signed up to do this. Gads! I immediately asked the two young men who work for us (ages 19 & 16) if they would give me their extra minutes. They both agreed but I’m not sure they meant it. *sigh* I’ll have to give it a go. I signed up 3 years ago and failed miserably. Dennis ALWAYS signs up and manages to follow through and even sometimes win six packs of water, juice, etc.
Wish me luck. Give me encouragement. Give me your extra minutes!

hehe, good luck! i thought i read somewhere that it takes 3 weeks to make something a habit, so maybe after your 4 weeks you'll keep it up??
