No more excuses, except for Sundays, Holidays and Vacations

I am so sick of waiting for that perfect day when I wake up and say, "I can't wait to go run 3 miles!" I have to face it, it's just never going to happen. It's not me. It's not how I was made. God made me to always hate running.
There are so many other ways to get the exercise I need. Filing papers really fast, or blow drying my hair after a shower and the bathroom is still all steamy(you get really sweaty).
There are so many people that I work with that are on these awesome diets and they are dropping pounds the way I drop it like it's hot while watching MTV Hits. It's so inspiring to me to see these people who have had 4 kids and others with back injuries losing so much weight. What the heck is my excuse? Someone has to make sure Bret Michaels chooses the right girl to "Rock his World" right?
One thing that I DO KNOW is that I CAN stop eating after 6 p.m. Not hard. I can start there.
I have asked my next door cubical neighbor if she will make me to report to her every morning about my eating habits. If I have someone to report to, I will do a lot better. I actually don't know if I do a lot better, but that is the theory.
I am not going to make any promises about exercising 30 minutes every day but I will promise to do leg lifts during commercials.

Haha. you are hilarious:) I used to do calf raises while brushing my teeth or washing the dishes or something...that at least gets your muscles moving even if you don't break a sweat...and we know the more muscle, the less you have to do to burn calories

eating at night is my biggest downfall. that's amazing that you can stop at 6:00!!! do you have a gold's membership? if you do we should go to some classes together. they are pretty fun.
