Mom here.

I was just thinking a week or two ago how nice it would be to account to someone beside myself about my exercise goal. Hmmm, what goal? It's been a good idea, but I've done nothing about it! Yes, exercise is something that I am going to do...tomorrow. I keep procrastinating! I noticed in the mirror yesterday that oh yeah, I had better get on with it. When I say exercise, I mean get on the machine that Dad bought. It is sitting in the basement, all set up ready to go.

I am pretty good about taking midday walks, for 45 minutes several times a week. One of my lifelong goals is to stay thin and "toned" regardless of my age. I am around older people quite a bit, and it is pretty obvious who has made the extra effort to exercise. Exercise takes discipline.

I have been focusing on my photography, and it has consumed me to the point that I have neglected any exercise at home. So, Jennie, Lisa, and Heather, I accept the challange and opportunity to write about my decision to seriously make it a goal. I'll commit to two times a week - from 5:30 a.m. to 6:30 a.m. I will be actively working out on Tuesday and Fridays. And I will walk for 45 minutes three days a week.

Thanks, Jennie...This is just what I needed. Love you all, Mom
