So, the big secret is that starting in August I'm going to be writing over at Bodies in Motivation!! I can see your mouths are all agape. Yes, yes, it's true. I'm about to begin a fitness regime, a boot camp style workout that meets twice a week. And what better way to make myself accountable to my new endeavor than to make myself accountable to a bunch of strangers (and a few friends, I hope) on the internet, right? Accountability goes a long way with me. As I told Linda, Bodies in Motivation's creator, I'm a people pleaser and if I tell you I'm going to do something, I'm going to do it, by God, or die trying.
So, here's where I need you guys. I've got to come up with a name for my blog. It needs to be fairly short and as AndreAnna noted (she has a blog over at Bodies, too) the title shouldn't be too limiting because the focus may change over time, as hers has. So, while I'm starting with a boot camp type excercise, I may move on to something else (that is pretty much the only reason I didn't go with my friend Tara's awesome suggestion of Boot Cramp). Oh, and I would also like the blog title to be funny and catchy, if possible. There are some good titles over at Bodies and I want to fit in.
So, here's a couple of things I've thought of so far, or have already been suggested.
Two Steps Forward (BORING! and my idea)
I Volunteered For This?
Do What Now? (this, for those of you that don't know, is what Southerners say (or maybe just my family?) when someone asks you to do something ridiculous, like say, run with a tire across a field) It must be said with a tone of incredulousness. I really like this one, but I'm afraid people wouldn't "get" the title.

So, I'd love to hear your suggestions. I'm offering a prize in exchange for the winning idea. If, for some reason I end up not choosing any of these, I'll do a random number generated pick from the comments and STILL give a prize. So it's a win-win!
Now keep in mind that I'll be gone for a week and will little-to-no internet access while I'm gone. So, it will be at least Saturday before I get a chance to look over the entries.
Annnnd go!

Oh, I forgot to say what the prize was but that's mostly because I don't know right now, but I promise it will be something good.
Good for you!! That's exciting! I saw Linda's call for volunteers, and I thought about 'applying,' but since mine would have to be called, "Regular Mom Who Skips Workouts More Often Than Not," I decided against it.
I LOVE "Do What Now?" But that's because I'm from here and I get it.
Maybe, "Admittedly Crazy?" HEH. I will think on this.
Madame Fit? That way it ties in to this blog :)
BUT! This may or may not be my final entry:)
