I'm really excited about this. I know I'm really ready for a change. You know, sometimes you just know.

Anonymous:I'm so glad to do anything I can to help. As for when I fit it in: well, you saw my schedule. I'm planning to do 6 to 6:30 in the morning, before anyone is up. I'll get the baby at 6:30 and the other boys at 7:30 (I try to get 1/2 hr of computer time in there too). And I'll plan to add about 15 minutes in the afternoon after I've got the morning habit. Another few minutes dancing on the trampoline at some point, and I'm done. I'm talking 45 mins-1hr max, broken up. You can do it!

Glad you're putting your resolution on your blog – we will be happy to keep you accountable! LOL I love the NEWO system…it's taken me (43 tomorrow!) from being a couch potato to running a 5k. Given me energy. Moreover it's given me confidence to do lots of other things in my life… 🙂 I've made lots of references to it over on my blog, but you might be interested to read this particular post

The only advice I can give you is to start small. Very small. But remember that every day you can make good choices. Water vs coffee. The stairs vs the elevator. 15 push ups before you get out of bed in the morning. 15 push ups against the kitchen wall, when you're making pancakes. Park furthest away from the shops. Fruit instead of chocolate (don't quote me on that one…!). Just like the Flylady system, all those babysteps add up.

Good luck! And let me know if you need an exercise buddy… 😀

1. You've set a time of the day that you're committed to exercising;
2. You've made your goals realistic;
3. You've found a form of exercise you can enjoy.

As you continue to improve your muscular and cardiovascular strength as well as your flexibility and tone, you may start to look for new things to do that you may also enjoy. So let me know… I've tried a lot of them.

I'm a firm believer that "anyone can do it." Watching The Biggest Loser is a testament to that.. So I like the "No Excuse" plan. Keep it up. Keep moving. And reach out when you need support, as you did today. Excellent post – be proud!

And ps – YES, I was definitely a tad envious of your figure in college ("how does she do that?" i used to ask.)

What an inspiration you are and I HAVE to ask how do you fit working out around your kids (I mean I make an effort to run and jump with my kids but thats it!) My youngest is 7 months and I'm not quite healthy there yet to start working out but I really need some good energy.
How do you motivate yourself and find time?

Take care
