have you ever wondered if there were any functional (as opposed to dysfunctional) aspects of peer pressure?well, i certainly have. and also wondered if social software (like myspace) would be a way of exploring the positive aspects of attention, pressure, positive social stress.short of the long: i never EVER have been all that great at taking care of myself. i live on pizza, beer, coffee and cocopuffs. i sleep little, work lots, and i am constantly feeling like poop because of it. the problem is that there really has been no reason for me to change my bad habits. i get away with a lot--and when there are consequences, i can ameliorate them in about 1.2 seconds. so, if it ain't broke, why fix it?well, because eventually i KNOW this is going to bite me in the a$$. one day, i will wake up and look old for my age, feel old and all of my excuses will be just as decrepid as i am. yep, you got it, sarah turned the big 3-0 this year HAHAHA!so, here's the plan of attack: i have had the good fortune of meeting a certain someone who has set up a bit of a work out sched and a meal plan for me (and incidentally, i went to the bc-wide bodybuilding competition last night so i am pretty fired up). i am starting my new work out sched/diet in august. i will post a blog at the end of each week outlining my 'progress' and post pictures of me in my posing costume (swimmin' trunks) at the end of every four weeks of training. you see, i want to go to the Arnold Classic in Pitts PA in the spring and i want to look good for it. well, honestly, i want to feel like i actually give a poop about myself more than anything. Arnold serves as a goal. i think i will need plenty of goals to like uh make my bad habits a thing of the past.so this is where you come in... any kind of ENCOURAGEMENT is welcome. this is gonna be a tough one for me lol as i have never ever done this before. i am often asked if i work out and i always respond 'i just work.' well, now i have to work out! i am hoping that if i have to report to the entire universe (thank you social software), i will actually follow through (ie. the positive influence of peer pressure). so yeah, check out my blog if you feel like it and make sure to comment! i'd love to hear from you.alright. i am so FREAKED OUT! i am actually going to post pics of me like with just my skivvies on... this is a good thing, right?sarah.
