Baby Steps

Getting healthier and losing weight will take baby steps.  I have been reading a lot of different methods and diets and things I can/should do.  I think for me the first thing is to cut out sweets.  Candy, cookies, anything baked (no more baking.  Unfortunately I love to bake), that kind of stuff. 

I also need to incorporate more exercise.  I keep thinking of all the reasons why I haven't exercised ... Isla's too difficult, I don't have the time, where would I do it .... etc.  and they're all valid reasons, but I could have excuses for the rest of my life and never do it.  So I just need to do it.

I'm starting simple.  Doing things I can do at home with no special equipment.

I found this:


The 100 Workout is a fast, all-encompassing workout that any girl can do, at any time of day, and from the comfort of  her own home. What makes The 100 Workout so appealing is the short amount of time it takes to exercise the whole body (glutes, quads, thighs, core, and hamstrings) as well as the convenience of not having to go to the gym.
Thinking of giving the workout a try? Here’s how you do it:

• 100 jumping jacks
• 90 crunches
• 80 squats
• 70 leg lifts
• 60 jumping jacks
• 50 crunches
• 40 squats
• 30 leg lifts
• 20 jumping jacks
• 10 minutes of running/stairs/jumping rope

I know I won't be able to do all of this at first, but baby steps.  I bet within a few weeks I will be doing better than now.  So I'll keep you posted on how it's going.
