I have a new project - another blog. I decided to create a blog that would deal with one topic only - my efforts to reconstruct myself by increasing fitness and reducing weight.
I got the idea a month or so ago to spend my holiday 'staycation' doing all the things that I talk about doing but never quite get around to, or I start, but I don't follow through. I have 3 weeks, and I think that is enough time to get some new habits start to feel like old habits. Because this is a staycation, I am not running off to a fat farm or a 2-week retreat in the Sierras (although it would be nice), I am doing things at home. But that just makes sense, anyway, because my intention is to start something that I can continue once I am back at work.
Today I am in that wonderful space of all-my-holidays-are-in-front-of-me, so I feel confident and empowered. I got off to a pretty good start, even cleaning my office so I wouldn't feel cluttered. I have planned an approach, rather than creating a rigid schedule, although I have some things scheduled too: on the August 1st weekend I am going kayaking with Elsa, and on the following weekend I am doing a 2-day yoga retreat on Galiano. I chose to do this because I want to set my intention for continuing yoga once my holidays are over, and I think the retreat will do that while also nurturing my spiritual side.
The blog, BeeFreeThree, is to help me be accountable. I want to document how I do, so that I can reward my successes and, perhaps, understand my failures. Going public, at least in theory (I don't have any readers ;-) expands the accountability. Plus I need practice writing, and I might get an article out of this. I am very interested in exploring issues of health and fitness and diet for women over 60 years of age, and this is a highly personal, and certainly meaningful to me, way of doing that.
I am looking forward to the journey!
