Something New

I know we're always talking about things we need to do – lose weight, excerise, etc. Always in search of new ways, ideas. I've tried gyms, I've tried Pilates, Yoga, etc. It's rare for me to stick with anything. More often than not, doing nothing is what I stick with. Well, last week I started Weight Watchers. After one week, I lost one pound. This week they discussed exercise. So I pushed myself this morning, did a series of exercises that are for body strengthening, then I downloaded "From Couch to 5K" onto my iPhone and did Day 1. In a nutshell, it tells me when to walk, when to run, when to walk … and changes it up, increasing each week. I did 2 miles on the treadmill yesterday and burned 275 calories. Huge for me. Now the hard part. Keeping it up. Because I didn't get any writing done yesterday. I'm a morning person. I'd rather write in the morning. Exercise in the morning. I can't do both, shower and get errands done. So this is a huge challenge for me, one I've yet to figure out.

Suggestions welcome!
