This week on Sweet Talk, we talked about exercise, and I brought up the fact that I too often drop out of traditional exercise programs because they require you to be somewhere and to do something specific.  That just doesn’t fit into my lifestyle.

So I’ve made the comitment to do some sort of physical activity everyday.  And I’m being intentionally vague.  Some days it might be a little walk around the block with Olive.  Other days it might be an hour on the Wii Fit.  And some days I may go and take a class at the YMCA.  Whatever it is, I’m going to do something every day.

And during the podcast discussion we also discussed the benifits of positive public pressure.  And I was thinking that I can blog my daily physical activity (boring) or I could start Tweeting it.  We began using the tag #didmine at Twitter.  Every day after we’ve done our daily activity we will include the tag #didmine to signify that we did ours for that day.

The cool part is that you can search using Twitter and see who has #didmine for the day.

We aren’t focusing on losing weight – getting up off the couch and moving is about so much more than weight loss.  And this isn’t just about diabetes.  Anyone can Tweet #didmine and show up in the timeline.

So, have you done yours today?
