This month's #BoM has us taking a look at our commitment or lack thereof regarding the resolutions we made for the New Year. Although modifications to how we live our lives or how we behave can take place at any time of the year, the changes we hope to make at the start of a new year seem to carry some extra weight. Just prior to the start of 2023 we purchased an exercise bike with the intention to get back into shape. My goal was to increase my cardiovascular endurance and loose 15 pounds.
to improve muscle strength and muscle endurance.
Keeping a log of how I'm doing with meeting my objectives, keeps me motivated.
Not only did I want to work out on a regular basis, I also wanted to continue to do do what I've been doing for years, eat well, juice, and take vitamins. I can also be a little lax with this regiment, so I included some of this on my chart.
- bike - 24 out of 35. best ride - 5.44 miles, 20 minutes, 98 calories burned
- leg weights - discontinued as of 1/18
- dumbbells - 17 out of 35
- blueberries - 21 out of 35
- beets - 16 out of 35
- vitamins - 29 out of 35
- Goodies average - 2.4, 0 to 5 scale
- juice - 34 out of 35
After compiling these numbers I would give myself a grade of a B.
I'm a man of habits and this routine is becoming a habit which makes meeting my goals easier every day.
I remember you bought the bike and showed us! This is awesome that you really are going for it. I love how you added the vitamins and juicing to the chart!
Seriously impressed and well done on keeping it up, I am envious now!
Thanks for joining the #bom this month and good luck😃
Holy shit that is a plan right there!
I really need to up my physical activity and am angling on getting back to the jiu jitsu mats. Dumbells are such a fantastic and versatile tool for strength & conditioning!
Maybe a few huge 100% upvotes on the blog will provide more motivation!
This is very impressive ❤️ The fact that you even note down your data means you really are doing great. Cheers to better lifestyle and fitness!

You start well and you are motivated, no reason not to follow the routine you have established. It is so good to track it daily. I wish I have that will.
Good for you! I’m impressed! Love the charts, charts always helped me keep on track.
Charts sure do spell out when you're coming up short.
Hi there Beef, first of all thank you for entering our #bom this month.
One thing we all need to do as we age gracefully is take care of your health. Exercising and taking vitamins are an important part to this.
I love how you are charting things out and added the juice and vitamins to the chart. Well done on exercising so regularly and taking some breaks.
It can be all too easy to charge into exercise and then burn yourself out, you are doing fantastically well, well done 👏
Thanks for the vote of confidence. So far so good with the program I set up. There have been days when I just don't feel like doing anything but take the vitamins and juice. When I see two days not checked off in a row, I try not to miss a third.

I would say here that when a person thinks or makes an intention to exercise, he should make that intention very strong because once a person starts, he should not quit. Excise has many benefits, it makes a person very active. Once a person starts exercising, he should do it daily, even if it is busy.
The hardest part of starting most things is the first step. The more you do it the easier it gets and then it becomes a habit.
