This is my journey and journaling of a new healthy lifestyle. My goal is to lose 100 pounds, and I hope to do it within a year. Included in this blog are some of the lower calorie recipes and links I have been asked to share. Enjoy.

Exercise? Do I have to?

Exercise? Seriously?

Okay, I may be laziest person I know. Have I mentioned that yet? I'm out of breath putting my shoes on.

My greatest motivation to get out of my chair?  My dog, Sally.

Sally is a big dog. She's a Shepard/Doberman(?) mix and weighs about 70 pounds. Not the biggest dog, but she can pull me up a hill if I pass out. We don't have a fenced in yard, so I have to leash her. In the past I have been know to walk the yard and let her do her business. Now, with pooper-plastic-baggies in hand, we walk our circle. I have no idea how large the circle is. A 1/4 mile to a 1/2 mile. It's not far, but it's the farthest from my desk I've been in awhile. Sally is my best walking buddy. She has those big puppy eyes you can't refuse.

Can't find a walking buddy? Visit your Humane Society. There are plenty of friends there that can't wait to get you off your butt and walking, running, playing ball.  ;)

Now if I can just find a way to tone-up in front of the TV.

I am hopeful though. While I don't exercise like I should now, I am feeling more energetic, and I can see a day coming when I'll want to burn this energy. But it's not going to waste. I'm cleaning out the closets.  ;)
