Getting healthier

It has been close to three weeks now that I committed to getting into better health. There are many reasons to do this, but what got me to agree and be motivated to really change is Tim's willingness to help motivate, work-out with, and just be supportive to me. I need to loose close to 100lbs. to be where we think is a healthy weight. That is a BIG number to just look at and think of doing, but I am going take it each day and see what comes with out the scale telling me how I am doing. So far I take walks with Malia riding in a backpack, work-out to videos/DVDs, and eventually ride my bike. All the exercise is supposed to last a least an hour, and hopefully more than twice a day five to six days a week. At this time, I have been under that amount of time during those days, but have come close several of them. It is my hope that as I get used to this kind of routine, it will be easier and easier to make the time. Of course there is the eating better thing too. With SO many vices in that category, it will be a challenge to keep doing what I should. But, we are eating more fresh vegetables and fruit now and cutting back on the sweets (most of the time). Dairy and sweets are the hardest for me to not have too much of. Eating out is also an area that I like to do too much of, but that is mainly because I do not get dinner done when I should. So all in all, it is about choices and making the time to do what really need to be done.
