Consistency....the missing ingredient

I'm about to get in shape...again. The tool of choice this time is going to be P90X. If you haven't heard of it, it's a revolutionary workout, diet program that is guaranteed to sculpt your body in just 90 days. So I'm about to try it.

But it hit me that this revolutionary tool has a lot of company in my never ending quest for physical fitness. It lines up behind my exercise bike and Ab cruncher in the basement. I used them for a few weeks faithfully but then stopped due to some reason (a goood one). This journey has also included my pedometer where I was doing my 10,000 plus steps a day. Walking vigorously lasted a few months but then my pedometer broke and I never replaced it.

This exercise quest also included early morning jogging. I bought some running shoes, clothes and an ipod to listen to music. That lasted a few weeks but then my shoes hurt and I never got them fixed. We then started using the Hip Hop abs video exercises (please don't tell anyone I did that). It worked for a few weeks but then I got tired. Then it was off to the gym for some months. Actually enjoyed it. But then it got too cold to go out and so we canceled the membership.

Lastly I bought the Nintendo wii fit. That had to work because I didn't have to go out and it was fun. Except I only lasted two sessions.

Well here we are - P90X. The truth is I just need some consistency. So here's what I'm trying. I'm coming clean and asking you to help keep me accountable. When you see me ask me how the exercise program is going. Hit me up on fb and make sure I'm off the couch and working out.

I don't think I'm the only one that struggles with consistency in exercising,work, time with my kids, even devotional habits. Let's become a community where we help keep each other accountable. We're not always strong on our own. Let's lean on each other. That will help our consistency.
