March is FINALLY here! At times in Boston this winter, I wondered if we'd make it to March... Snowmagedon was upon us all season it seemed! But... the days are longer, the sun is brighter again and spring is, indeed, right around the corner - only TWENTY DAYS to go! Woohoooo!
So let's get a little SPRING in our steps, shall we, friends? This month's challenge is all about finding your personal groove in fitness and weightloss (if you're trying to lose weight). There are 31 days in the month and bathing suit season is not too far off. Let's commit to concentrating on fitness for 24 of the 31 days. That gives you 7 days of freedom to do nothing at all or unplanned activities.
Get out your calendar or open up your electronic calendar and commit to yourself which of the 24 days of March you're going to exercise for at least 30 minutes by marking it in your calendar. I, personally, plan to get a lot of walking in so I'm concentrating on step aerobics and walking this month to boost my lungs and get ready for the spring. April will be my "core" month!
There is one other - very easy - part to this #hlgSpring challenge: grab a piece of paper or poster board or construction paper and write down one goal you'd like to accomplish this Spring. Don't let negativity creep into your mind as you write it down, don't think "I'd really like to lose 10 lbs but I know I'll never do it"... Instead write down "I'm going to lose 10 lbs by June 20th!" Now, if that were me, I'd write down "I'm losing 10 lbs. by June 20th! WOooHoooo! I ROCK!" *grin* And then I usually find photos to reinforce my goals from magazines and cut those out, too, paste 'em to the Goal Poster and have a mini "dream board".
Once your Goal Poster is done you need to hang it somewhere you'll see it every single day. If you don't want others to see it, I'd suggest the inside of your closet door or the drawer of your desk where you work. If you don't care who in the world sees it - then make multiple Goal Posters and put them on your fridge, on your bathroom mirror, on the visor of your car, in your hallway! :)
Whatever you do this month, remember to
Think Positive when you're
Thinking Spring. Set a
Spring Goal and stick to it.
Let's start Spring off with a spring in our step... a goal in our mind... and the joy of being true to ourselves in our heart! We are SO worth the effort, friends!
Think SPRING!

I so want to finish my weightloss this year and then begin to maintain. I need the expert advice this contest winning will provide. Would you take the time to vote for me daily between now and next Friday, March 11th? I would truly appreciate your vote. Thank you, friends! : )
