I have been so busy doing Primary stuff and stuff for my class and working out, that blogging is kind of one of the last things on my mind. Yes, I have been working out this week. I am doing videos. It is nice to be able to do it in the comfort of my own home. I am doing the Biggest Loser Boot Camp. It is really good because you start up really slow and just add what you want as you get stronger. I started out doing the 20 minutes and thought I was going to die!!! Now, just 5 days later I have added 10 more minutes and it feels great. I cannot believe the difference it makes in my day when I exercise. I have so much energy!!! It feels really good. It always has. I have always known this, but somehow, the idea of actually taking the time to do it has seemed daunting. I just need to keep it up and remember that it is going to be worth it in the long run. I am not going to profess that I am perfect. I am probably not eating as well as I should. I am working on it. But I think the fact that I am exercising everyday is a big lifestyle change and will help me to be healthy. Not that I have been eating badly. No... I have a deal with my friend that I will eat healthy. I am just not sure if I am eating the right amount of calories and stuff. But that is going to come next once I get into the grove of exercising. I want to start one habit at a time. Another little hindrance is that I think I may be sick again. Sore throat, cough, you know the drill. At any rate, I am very proud of myself. For an entire week I have worked out. My goal was to do 3 days a week. I am going to do it tomorrow too because I think it will be easier to keep it up if I keep going. But I will not have time to do it in the morning before church on Sunday. So maybe I will take Sunday off. It is a day of rest, after all. Today, I have to do the bulletin board for Primary. I cut out 80 hearts yesterday... Then, I think I will reward myself with an all-day reading fest of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society. (Which is proving to live up to the good hype!)
Now, I am not expecting to lose 20 lbs in a week like they did on the Biggest Loser! (What was THAT about?!?!) Although, that would be nice. But I would like to see a difference. I am feeling it in my legs so I know something is working! As far as the other goals... the kids fighting thing has not even gotten off of the ground. The scripture thing... not so much. We are doing great as a family... So I will keep on trying. I have a whole year! I think I am doing pretty well!

Way to go! I think you are off to a wonderful start. They say it takes two to three weeks to form a habit, so keep going! You are an inspiration!
And the Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society is one of my all time favorite books. I hope you like it too!
I can't tell you how much I want to borrow your determination right now. I keep telling myself I'm going to start exercising and 8 days into the new year...nothing! Bah! Keep blogging about how great it is and hopefully, I'll be there with you sooner than later. Way to go!
So great that you are exercising and actually liking it. Don't be too hard on yourself about the eating. I think that the more you exercise the more you will naturally change your eating habits. Keep it up!
Congratulations! Those are some great resolutions. I think I've had a resolution to do better at personal scripture study the past four years. How am I going to accomplish that? Please share any tips or tricks for success you find for that!
20 pounds in one week? That's rubbish! Keep up the good work!!
