The first step...
So today I have been sitting around on my big butt thinking about my excersise routine. Thinking about it is the first step...
I know it will involve walking. I already have a route mapped out around town and in bad weather I already have a treadmill.
Actually... ((warning...please do not try this at home, the following was performed by an expert and should not be attempted by amatures...))
I discovered Sunday night that walking in the snow ain't that bad...I got p.o.'d at my husband and walked home from a friend's house. It was around 10:00pm, snowy, cold and I was very drunk. I'm not really sure how far I walked (the hubby's says over 2 miles) or how long it took me (it seemed like forever at the time). I do know I fell down once. I remembered this yesterday when I felt the bruise on my outer thigh.
I am considering it the beginning of my exercise routine. From now on though, I will make some important modifications, such as:
Wear running/walking shoes instead of boots
Wear appropriate clothing instead of jeans, a sweater and 500 million Mardi Gras beads around my neck
Walk in daylight
Walk sober
To add insult to injury, I had to work 16 hours yesterday...as a nurse, that means that I spent nearly 14 of those hours ON MY FEET!!
Which is why I am sitting on my big butt today, thinking about my exercise routine...
which I will restart tomorrow...
15.2lbs and losing...

Hmmm, I'm guessing that you were at the Superbowl party...
I would suggest that the Mardi Gras beads can serve dual duty - light reflectors and added weight, so maybe you should continue to wear them ;-)
I'm getting my workout on this floor project...back, arms and hamstrings are definitely feeling the burn...I'm trying to work in some crouching to target the quadriceps as well.
