an object in motion stays in motion

so i've been avoiding the blog... surprise surprise.  i hate when i avoid because i'm not being successful... typical.  anyway i'm getting back at it, promise!

so the past several weeks have been spent staying somewhat active, but not intentionally active enough to lose any weight.  i also didn't do so great with my eating.  what i've learned time and again about reaching a goal is that i need to just get back on the horse and try again.  i've decided that my focus for the next two weeks will be on moving and getting exercise.  i have decided that every morning after my son and i get up and do the breakfast, rub the sleep out of our eyes routine, we'll head to the gym - he enjoys himself there because there's a big jungle gym thing to play on in the kid place.  i will do anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes of cardio and then we'll move on with our day.  i figure doing this first thing gets us out of the house and therefore is more likely to keep my motivation up for going out and doing things like swimming, playing at the park, etc.

i also have a stack of workout dvds that i would like to begin incorporating, but my fear of starting with those is simply how sore my body will be from them.  the food will come but in order to make this a natural part of my life i need to do it in stages... here's hoping!

promise i'll check back in much sooner.
