Setting goals

I've been very jealous for the last couple of months watching my husband get up every single morning (except for maybe 2 of them) and going out walking the neighborhood for an hour.  Well.....I'm not jealous actually -- I am very proud of him for making the decision and sticking to it and he's really starting to drop some extra weight and looking good (you've always looked good to me honey).

So for the past 4 days, I've religiously gotten up and started my morning workouts.  I am finally determined to get rid of all this fat I have (and been embarrassed about) and I'm setting my goals.  I've been on the treadmill 3 mornings and went out walking with Paul this morning.

Remember that blog post awhile back about the exercise room?  Well the room got all trashed again, but we do have a treadmill in there.  I seriously am going to go out and get a bike for that room sometime this next week.  We need to get our excercise room finished and decorated just like we envisioned.  It's nice to have the equipment in there to use -- especially since the mornings are getting a little nippy.

So I figured I would publish my goals here for all the world to see....and to also hold myself accountable IN WRITING.

Goal:  By December 24th:  130 lbs. -- size 10 clothes
(I'm not going to say how many pounds that is to lose because I don't want to embarrass myself any further).

To achieve this goal:

1. I will be exercising every day for at least 1 hour. 
2. I will not drink alcoholic beverages until my birthday (I might actually give myself 2 free days in here -- just to be able to reward myself on this long and difficult journey).
3. I will be a better eater (not doing too bad here already.  Just need a minor tweak or two)

I can't wait to see what I'm going to look like all skinny in all those new clothes I get to buy!
