Alright...I've decided to give this whole blogging thing a try. I'm surrounded by social media at work and you'd think with a journalism background I'd want to write about and share every aspect of my life...it's not that easy. I've always been interested in sharing my thoughts, but getting started, finding just the right platform and maintaining it has been a struggle. So, recently I came up with the perfect experiment...I want to get in shape, I want to be held accountable and motivated to work out, so I bought the Insanity DVDs (a 60 day work out program similar to P90X, only Insane!) and I'm going to blog about my experience every day. I have a feeling a lot of bloggers do this...find something they want to try or review in hopes that other people are reading or will give them feedback...well, I just jumped on that train!
Has anyone seen or read the book Julie & Julia? It stars Amy Adams as Julie Powell and Meryl Streep as Julia Child (love her!), Powell wants to cook all 524 recipes in Child's famous cookbook, Mastering the Art of French Cooking, in 365 days and she blogs about it. That's kind of what gave me the idea/inspiration to do this. Powell just started writing about something she enjoys (even though I have to say I'm by no means a work out fanatic, I enjoy it enough) and while I plan to blog about my progress, I'm going to add details about what I enjoy...my family, my crazy animals, my friends and hobbies (hence the name of my blog is not "Lindsay - Fitness Guru").
So, there's my plan. And now that I've posted this to a free blogging site and my millions of followers have read it (I'm just anticipating the popularity), I must follow through.
Day 1 starts tomorrow...onward Lindsay C!
Welcome Lindsay! Can't wait to read all about it.
