Sit-up Habit

So how many days have you skipped so far? Either because you had a busy  day, you were too tired, or because you just plain forgot.  I'll admit, I've missed once - because I forgot. We're only 15 days into the challenge and there are 350 more days until the finale.  The older I get the faster time seems to fly; but, 350 days is a lot of time for events in life to sidetrack us.

For some, this weekend is the first long holiday weekend of the year. The one day off can lead to breaking all the goals we set at the beginning of the year. At this point, making up the missed sit-ups isn't too bad. However, before we know it, the numbers could soon get out of hand. Start now and create a routine that will help you finish the challenge.

There have been studies done showing that it takes about 21 days to form a habit. That's only three weeks. The challenge lasts 52!  Do you complete your sit-ups when you get out of bed in the morning? Perhaps just before bed?  Maybe after every workout? Pick a time, a place, a partner and try to be consistent about always finishing the sit-ups for the day. You're going to appreciate a well formed routine much more when we get into the 100s. And those days will be here before you know it!
