I have been seriously sabotaging myself lately, more so than usual.  What I have been doing is not even sabotage, but rather something darker and more sinister---I have been purposely binging.  I gorge large ... http://marathoner.buddyslim.com/2009/02/14/i-am-all-out-of-excuses/ Yesterday I set out to have my first 100% day since Thanksgiving and I failed miserably.  It's a good thing that I am shooting for at least ONE day this month and I still have 16 more opportunities left!  Speaking of opportunities,  we have 46 weeks left to meet our goals ... http://marathoner.buddyslim.com/2009/02/12/the-importance-of-a-plan-and-todays-personal-challenge/ The photo above is a sneak preview of my calendar for the month of February.  So far, I have earned 7 stickers, my goal for the month is 21.   I EARN a sticker for every 60 minutes of exercise I complete and although the idea is simple and the stickers have ... http://marathoner.buddyslim.com/2009/02/11/a-sneak-preview-a-shout-out-to-harleygirlanj-and-a-personal-challenge/ Today I did something brave---I bought a pair of ice-skates and took my first ice-skating lesson.  I was petrified!  I honestly envisioned myself hitting the ice face first, knocking out all my teeth, or maybe breaking my wrists or my ankles!  THANK GOD none of that happened.  I am not ... http://marathoner.buddyslim.com/2009/02/11/i-survived/
