So Far So Good

We'll I have only been at the exercise thing for 4 days and so far so good. With the exception of a shorter workout on Saturday, I have been in the pool every day for a 30 minute workout. Since my knee isn't going to cooperate and allow me to take a dance class yet, I'm going to add a Pilate's mat workout to my new regime. I have a several Pilate's workout DVDs and it is time to blow the dust off of them and use them. I'm going to start with the 20 minute workout. My goal is to get up a 1/2 hour early in the morning and do the workout. I still in my heart believe that a morning workout jump starts your metabolism so I need to add that in. I tried to get up this morning, but it didn't work so I will just keep trying. I have realized that I am really no longer a morning person. I really felt for a long time that I was a morning person, but I think my desire for sleep has taken over!!!! My other hope is that with the exercise I will sleep better at night making getting up in the morning difficult. I wake up several times a night so I'm hoping that this will help. It has certainly helped Doodlebug sleep better!!! She has been out like a light the past two nights!!!!

I decided to do the dirty deed and weigh myself this morning. I had the need to know my starting place. I hadn't weighed in awhile so I was pretty surprised to see the scale read 195.4. Now, I have already told myself that I am focusing on getting healthy and not what the scale reads! Easier said than done! I think I will just pick a day during the week and weigh in so I can track my progress! Even if I don't see progress every week the weigh in will keep me accountable. Haven't decided on a day yet. I'm just not sure what day will be best. Any suggestion?
