Exercise Now
Due to all the stress in my life over the last three months, I had immediately lost weight but now I've gained it all back and then some. Now I'm feeling rolly-polly and clothes fit too tight. I've decided to take some action and I'm going to try to get some EXERCISE.

I used to walk home from work (approx 40 minutes) every day and I had been in a running class and another exercise class before everything went awry. Since I'm not doing any of this and my eating habits haven't been so great lately, my body has pudged out more than ever. Well, I'm finally going to try to do something about it.

I "signed up" for a Self magazine "Reach Your Goal" program (www.self.com/goal). I chose the "Get off the couch" one since I think if I tried the next level up, I would just be setting myself up for failure. I hope that low goal=success in this case. So far it's good and easy to keep up with, but I'm only on my first week. It's three 30 minute walks plus two strength "workouts" a week. I figure if this does actually get me off the couch, then I'll be more motivated in the coming weeks to get out and go for a run or something more strenous than walking. But if I just stick to the walking it'll be great.
