What makes this year so special? Why is this the year physical fitness will be rocked to it's core? It's the awesome vibe 2007 gives me, coupled with having more reasons to get fit than ever before (also, suddenly having more fat than any other year on record could be a prime motivator.) We have no experience with fitness or healthy diet. What we DO have is motivation. Starting a blog will not only help chart progress; it'll keep us motivated. If anyone else gets any good from it, then all the better. Lorrie and I will post regularly about anything that seems relevant.
I started yesterday by weighing myself and taking my measurements. I will not go near the scale or tape measure for another two months. That way, mild fluctuations won't affect my drive. With the help of Joan Pagano's Strength Training for Women (which I took out of the library almost a month ago), I attempted some "core" moves. Good stuff.
More tomorrow!

Well stated! My first day of intense commitment to work out resulted in me walking up and doing 10 minutes of stretches (and go figure, I was not as tense in my neck and shoulders afterwards... hmm), walking more briskly to the bathroom, and walking to lunch instead of driving. Day 1 was a step in the right direction.
I like the idea of no weighing or measurements for two months. I get so happy when the number goes down but then depressed again when I think of the number itself. I think I need to work as hard as I can and be pleasantly surprised by the results... and end up just feeling so good that I might not even care about the actual number.
