Happy New Year to me...

Today is Day 4 of my New Year. I have re-committed to a healthier me. I was inspired recently by Scott and one of my commitments is to exercise every day for the month of January. I am making small goals, so I'll recommit on a monthly basis. So far so good.

I've also committed to eating at least three meals and one snack a day during the week days. I can no longer skip meals. This is the hardest thing for me. (I'll commit to doing the same on weekends soon.)

My husband was a little grumpy tonight (he worked nights last night, then went hunting and waited for the satellite guy, so no sleep). He was watching tv and I said, you know, I need to work out (everything is connected to our main tv) and he pretty much ignored me. Now, last month I would have used this as an excuse to not exercise and I really wanted to do that tonight. Instead, I went into my oldest son's room (now a guest room where my younger son keeps his tv and xbox) and I popped the walking dvd in. I don't need my Wii to work out, there are many different things I can do. Within five minutes my husband came to the door to say he was going to bed. So I got my workout in AND I didn't engage in an argument with my husband. A pretty successful day all around!!
