Tomorrow is the New Day One

Okay. I have been having knee pain for a couple weeks now. They just get stiff and hurt and don't want to support me. Especially after I sit for a while. My fiance says I'm just getting old and arthritic! LOL But I'm pretty sure that it is due to my recent weight gain and lack of exercise. I don't think it's a coincidence that this pain has increased as my weight has crept back up. Also, I was just cleaning the living room, you know, mostly bending over to pick up the kids toys. Well, I got extremely tired and very out of breath. That has never really happened before. Again, I don't think the timing is just a coincidence. And on top of that my stomach is rebelling and having all sorts of pain and bowel issues. Oh, and I keep getting dizzy and lightheaded, like the room is spinning. This weight is making me sick. Literally and figuratively. I put on a pair of shorts that were lose a few weeks ago and they are now tight. Not good. At breakfast this morning I told my daughter that we are revamping our schedule and we are all getting healthy together. She was into it! I told her that we were going to start making healthy meals together if she wanted to. She was psyched! I also told her that we were going to start going to bed earlier and getting up earlier. She wasn't too hip on that idea until I told her that the reason was so that we could all get up and go outside before it gets super hot and ride bikes, or walk around the lake or even play soccer outside. Then she was all about it! We even went to the store and got little man some new tennis shoes since he outgrew his other ones. Now he has shoes to walk and run in too! I am going to get off my lazy ass and start making my fiance lunch every night to take to work the next day. Healthy lunches. No more fried chicken and super-size portions of pasta and pizza. The hardest habit I will have to get him to break is buying the kids chocolate all the time. He likes to be Mr. FunTimes. He will have to get over it. His funtimes are going to make our kids overweight or unhealthy, or both. I am loving the pic above with the quotes. I need to follow those everyday. LESS WORDS, MORE ACTION. Stop talking about it so much and start DOING IT!
