Starting a Fitness Routine

I still have 8 pounds of "baby weight" to lose from my pregnancy. I keep floating around ideas of the last bit of weight in my mind, but I haven't done anything to act on it. But, I finally did it. I opened my very own SporteeGal Fitness Journal last night and started writing in it. It really is motivating when you put your goals down on paper.



My second reason for starting the journal is that I really should use it since I sell it to other people. I know it inside and out, but you don't really know a product until you use it.

I have to say, I'm pleasantly surprised. I knew it was a great journal, but it seriously is motivating and liberating to take control, write those goals down and have a plan. My only goal is not just to pitch the SporteeGal journal (not completely ;), but even if you just grab a blank page notebook from the grocery store and start writing your goals and activities in it, you'll be glad you did.

The other thing I noticed is that since I'm writing down everything I eat in the Nutrition section of the journal, I'm a little more careful about what I'm eating. I don't want to see "chocolate donut" or "M&M Blizzard" (my favs) in writing! It really holds you accountable. AWESOME!

Whether its a SporteeGal Fitness Journal, or blank pages, start that journal and watch your goals come to reality!

Journals for EWGA Event

Sharon from the Colorado EWGA (Executive Women's Golf Association) contacted me yesterday and asked if I'd be willing to donate 24 journals for an event they are having on Saturday. Of course I said yes. I love the EWGA. They are a great group of women.

If you're interested in getting involved with a fun group, join your local EWGA. When I first heard of them I thought you had to be 1) an executive (I assumed of some big corporation) and 2) you had to be a kick ass golfer. Neither is true. You can be at level with any job and join them. I'm a par 3 girl myself and I found they have a group for par 3's! Now I need to join!

I just packed up the journals, put the new SporteeGal pens in a nice little bag with a ribbon around it and sent them off. They looked so nice I wish I was receiving them ;).

Great time at the Sports & Fitness Expo in Denver

SporteeGal exhibited at the Colorado Sports & Fitness Expo in Denver last weekend. What a wonderful event. Great, friendly people who just couldn't say enough nice things about the new SporteeGal journals.

The event was held prior to the big Colorado Colfax Marathon which was held on Sunday.

I sold a nice mixture of journals. The most popular was the SporteeGal Fitness journal, but I sold a few golf journals, a couple triathlon journals and one marathon journal. Since it was a marathon event, I thought I'd sell the most of those! You just never know.

Now the search is on for the next great event...any suggestions?

SporteeGal on 9News

The wonderful Susie Wargin at 9News invited me back to talk about the new SporteeGal journals on her 6:20 sidebar on May 5th! I'm was so excited. I appeared on 9News back in December when I debuted the golf journal. I received tons of orders that day. It was so much fun and great exposure.

Susie was really helpful in the development of the triathlon journal. She's a triathlete, so her advice and tips were invaluable in the creation of that journal. She's so darn sweet too.

I tried to get the code for the video clip, but I'm not sure its working. You can always go to the 9News website and do a search for SporteeGal to see the video! I'll try and get the code for it so I can post it here soon. Stay tuned!
