And so it begins

No, I'm still not pregnant. And no, we still haven't decided what to do. BUT I did want to let you know that I have started working out in order to lose some weight. Big deal you might be thinking. For the girl that has spent most of her life in front of a TV, it is.

I decided a couple of weeks ago to set a couple of goals for myself. I was going to share them with blog world but then I came down with bronchitis. You know how you want whatever you want when you're sick? That's what I was doing. Chocolate? Sure why not. Cheetos? Yum. How I've missed you. And so, I decided to wait until I was better.

Your job, oh dear internet, is to keep me accountable to meeting these goals.

Weight loss: 43 lbs (That would put me at my pre-pregnancy weight-4 years and still trying)
Goal date: 20 Feb 09 (the day before we leave for our next cruise)
Reports: Every Monday
Caveat: If I get pregnant, I don't want to gain more than 25lbs

So my effort began yesterday. I walked about 1.5 miles. I'm not sure exactly because I haven't mapped it yet. I hope to add about a half mile every week until I'm walking 3 miles a day. We'll see how that goes and if I need to do anything differently.

If you have any weight loss suggestions, I'd be happy to read them. Just be nice.
