Goal setting

I don't make "resolutions" because I tend to make excuses NOT to keep them.  Friday night, I went to the game store with my son and picked up two games for the Wii for myself.  I got a Biggest Loser Challenge game and a My Fitness Coach game.  Yesterday morning, I decided that the BLC game would be better, so I pulled it out and attacked it. I set myself a goal, with the game, of working out 5 days a week, for 30 minutes at a time.  Yesterday was day 1.  Today was day 2.

I am sore, but feel great, all things considered.  I'm going to set my alarm earlier than on normal so that I can put in a thirty minute workout daily.  I've decided that I'm tired of being obese.  I'm tired of carrying around a lot of excess on my knees.  I am trying to be a healthy example for my children but it's not been happening.  I can't provide them a healthy example if I'm not working out, losing weight and eating healthier.  

I'm keeping records of my day--my eating and exercise.  Once I get back into the habit of working out and journaling, I think I will feel much better about myself.  I feel like this is a good goal and a positive start to my year.
