About Me

My photo
The Merry
I'm a vertically challenged and horizontally enhanced woman, living in the Pacific Northwest and devoting my considerable stubbornness toward becoming fit. I created this blog to help me get exercise. I find being publicly accountable really helps. And guilt works too.

My plan

Exercise, try, or post the reason why.

Each week, I set up my exercise schedule.
Each day, I aim to complete the exercise posted for that day.
If I'm good, I get a gold star next to the exercise. Yes, I work out for bright sparkly virtual objects :)
