Back at It....so to sepak!

I am finally back to my blog. Oh how I have missed you and your blank posts just waiting for some spark of inspiration to fill you with witty dialogue! OK, maybe not witty dialogue but I really have missed writing. It is a wonderful de-stressor and we all know we could use a lot less stress in our lives. So, here we go!!!!

I'm beginning with a new inspiration to get in shape and healthy. A good friend of mine has been running for several months and doing awesome. I am inspired to work out more and finally "shit and get off the pot" as my FIL would say. I, un-fortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it, can't run. I don't actually like to run, but since my knee surgery impact exercise is out of the question. Which is hard for me because my exercise of choice would be to take a dance class. I have tried to take class on several occasions but have found it to be extremely painful, so I have decided that since the weather is now hot (we bypassed warm and went right to hot this year) I will hit the pool, swim, and do water aerobics. I have taken so many water aerobic classes that I have put together my own routine and tonight I started. The pool temp was perfect and it felt really, really good to get out there and move. Especially in the water due to the weightlessness! Now, I have not given up on the idea of taking dance classes and with the beginning of the summer semester at Doodlebug's dance studio I will definitely give it a shot, but with the pool I can get out there every day.

My goal for the rest of this month is to hit the pool and do 1 half hour session every day. I think that is so doable. I of course would love to get up and do this first think in the morning, but that would mean being in the pool at 5am. I'm not even going to attempt that and set myself up to fail. So, the evening it is and after dinner digestion. I'm hoping this will also help curb the late night sweet treat habit that I have gotten myself into!

I haven't decided if I'm going to put an actual weight loss goal with this right now. I think I will just focus on the new habit of exercising every day. Along with changing some of the bad eating habits the family has fallen into. I already mentioned the late night sweet treat!!!! The afternoon snack attack is also on the habit to break list! We actually eat fairly well with lots of fruit and veggies, but this carb queen has some carb habits to work on!

So, my dear blog, here we are. We are ready to begin this new quest of health! Lets get to it!!!
