I have a handout in my presentation package that describes the steps you need to take to 'Have a Good Day' and on the flip side of the card are the steps you need to take to 'Have a Bad Day' - all summed up it says that "You need to make time to be healthy or you have to take time to be sick!" So exercising or not is just a choice we have to make - just like 'choosing to smile' is a choice. With that said, I am going to the gym today and I certainly hope that eventually I will start to like working out... but for now, it's a necessary evil. I just don't get the thrill out of sweating that some people do... can anyone explain it to me? (aside from the 'endorphin release' theory cuz I've heard that one and have yet to feel it!)

Hopefully, I will be down a few pounds by the official launch dates of March 5, 6, and 7th.... we shall see!

I'll weigh in on February 18th and see how I've done... one month after the start of making a commitment to lose weight. I can't believe my inspiration to lose weight is so that I can jump out of an airplane on my 55th birthday! What was I thinking?!
