Brilliant or Incredibly Stupid?

OK, I've decided I need to work out on a regular basis. Yes, I did say "regular" -- that means 5 times per week. Here's where YOU, my faithful readers, come in. I need you to hold me accountable for working out. Ahhh! There, I said it. I'm actually going to do this thing called exercise and I'm posting it here so you (all three of you!) can harass me if I don't do it.

I will make weekly posts stating that either, yes, I did accomplish my goal of exercising 5 times that week or, no, I did not meet my goal. Then you can give me kudos, applause, pats on the back, and/or glowing words of praise if I am successful or you can kick my butt if I fail. Got it? Knowing some of you like I do, I'm guessing you hope I fail at least a few times just so you can make your sick little rude comments. :-)

I've already started my new routine and so far I have exercised for three weeks, two in which I accomplished my goal and one week in which I only worked out 4 times.

I don't know if this is a good idea that will keep me motivated, or if I'm just incredibly stupid and a glutton for punishment. We will see. (Note that the heading of my blog states that I tend to blog when I'm under the influence of caffeine, such is the case today, so I really might regret this when I crash from my caffeine "high.")

Hello to Ben - saw your blurb in the Towers about your family visiting Niger. What an experience. As a retired La Leche League Leader, I am interested in the breastfeeding situation is in other countries.
Looks like your family is doing well!

My vote if for "Incredibly Stupid" but I'm hoping you'll prove me wrong! :)

You go girl! I think it is great! Someday when I'm done birthing children maybe I'll get back to exercising regularly. By then you'll be a pro and can give me pointers!
