A new start!

Today is the first day we are committing ourselves to a better lifestyle. It has been a long time coming to this point. Years of reading, researching, analyzing, hoping, trying, and failing have lead us to this day. Larry and I (mostly I but he has agreed to go along with it) have decided to change our life. We have tried in the past to lose weight by exercising or dieting but now it is time for us to banish those terms from our vocabulary. We are eating healthy and becoming active. Starting this morning we both woke at 5am which was a struggle. Immediately we began doing a light exercises for 5 minutes. Nothing too strenuous because we are trying to build a habit before we begin losing the weight. I made a healthier breakfast and enjoyed 15 minutes of solitude while Larry showered and the kids slept. I know this is not ground breaking news or a radical change but it is a start and we are committed to seeing it through.
