EXERCISE CONTRACT
At last night's health and weight management class, we were encouraged to craft and follow-thru on a exercise contract covering the next seven days. Here's mine:
This Agreement, made on the 12th day of May 2005, between Me, Myself, and I (here further known as "I"), is with respect to a plan for exercise tentatively titled, Mikal's Plan for Exercise:
I agree as follows:
1. To exercise at least once a day over the course of five (5) of the next seven (7) days for a duration of no less than 60 minutes per exercise session.
2. To support this effort, I shall enlist the support of anyone reading this blog posting between the dates of May 12, 2005, and May 18, 2005, as well as share my plan with at least one person whom I see or speak to on a daily basis (most likely, my roommate).
3. My responsibilities with respect this agreement are to:
(a) blog efforts and result within twelve (12) hours of their occurrence; and
(b) report efforts and results at next Wednesday evening's health and weight management class.
4. Failure to follow-thru on any of the aforementioned points will be considered a breech of this Agreement, and will be punishable by great internal strife and public humiliation.
Notarized by anyone supportive enough to make a comment using the 'comment' link below.
The timing for this assignment is actually pretty good. While I already exercise on 5 out of 7 days per week, my gym is closed for most of the month of May for renovations, which leaves me on my own as far as having an actual place to go to exercise. The plan then for the next 7 days will be to go on walks either before or after work, with some sprints and light jogging thrown in for good measure.
Happy Thursday!

I managed to lose fifteen pounds since the first of the year. I did it by not buying anything from the vending machines at work, walking during morning and afternoon break and having a salad for supper two or three times a week. My goal is to lose another fifteen pounds.
