Dilemma: A problem involving a difficult choice...

It rained today.  Normally it is not a dilemma for the trees, grass, etc..., but it is for someone who hates to exercise.  Going for a walk does not feel like exercise, normally you don't have to break a sweat and you can walk for 30 minutes and say that you exercised for the day.  Not today, I had a dilemma...... My dilemma started with, "what do I drag out from the pile of exercise equipment I have in the spare room, garage, under the house, and back of the closet?  I settled for exposing the stationary bike that was 6 ft under a pile of clothes at the end of my bed.  I raised it from the dead and climbed on, gingerly, and got a glimpse of my profile in a mirror.  I discovered "Bootyville" has a neighboring continent....like any good pioneer discovery I got to name it....lets call this continent "Tummy Town".

I am So Hip....

...and  I don't mean "fashionista" hip.  Today, during my walk, I noticed while I was I swinging my arms to walk, they are brushing my hips.  Thats not good, it means my hips were really out there like another continent waiting to be discovered.  Well, I found land...massive land...and like any new discovery I'll give it a name... how about..... "Bootyville". 

Yesterday

My body remembered yesterday, today.  Yesterday I went for a walk.  I think it was over a mile (I'll have to measure it with my car).  I could not believe how out of shape my HEELS are!...after the first day they have a blister!  Anyway, today I went for the same walk and the blisters are BIGGER.  I may need new shoes and my husband agrees :) I know it's every girl's fantasy that her husband tells her she needs new shoes.  I have 363 more days to exercise and yes, my walks have been at least 30 minutes.

Day One...The Beginning

Discipline is not easy.  I went to see the movie Julie and Julia and I loved it!  I left the movie thinking..."I can do that." so I went immediately over to Barnes and Noble to see how much the French cookbook would cost and to view the recipes.  I have to admit, I would not cook brains or kidneys so, I re-shelved the book. and left thinking..."I don't need another cookbook", I already have a whole bookshelf devoted to the topic of cooking and I am still not very good at it.  What I do need is discipline, for something, anything.  I tend to start something, go all out for about 3 months, get distracted by something new, and go off to a new project or direction.  So, I got up today and I am starting to exercise and  I will blog about it everyday to keep myself accountable.  Hopefully I will get someone out there either motivated to do the same or following my blog to encourage me!
