Fell off the wagon already

So after a week of constructive blogging for both my personal blog and company blog I have already found a week where I really didn't have a lot on my mind to post about. I tried thinking of subjects, but in an effort to provide content that may be worth your time I am trying to not post random nonsense that has no meaning.

When trying to create a new habit it is often very easy to "fall off the wagon." I continually struggle with this very problem. The issue that I'm finding is that it's very easy to have a setback and quit or not get started. The weather is getting rather nice again, and I keep telling myself I need to start running and exercising once again. I used to be such an exercise junkie. Where have those days gone? I also keep telling myself and the world that I'm going to post more to my blog. Last week if you read the Fusework Studios Blog you will find I was very active as I had three or four very relevant posts. I even had some people read and tweet about my latest post about degrees of separation in the Internet world which was impressive.

Here's my new course of action to stay on task and make steps forward to developing good, long-standing habits:

• I am going to bring exercise clothes to work and run during lunch breaks on nice days. I won't run far starting out, but I'm going to get in that habit of running.
• I am going to start stretching, working on my abdominal muscles and other exercises with specific focus on toning.
• I am going to post on this blog about how I'm doing. This will require myself to hold myself accountable.
• I am going to read something pertaining to my career in some way and post on the company blog at least twice a week.

Once I get more comfortable with these new goals I'll get more strict and bold to have more demanding goals. I know I need to start out small and form the habit.
