Starting over isn't easy. This year I have a game plan in place for when I feel I might give in or fail. What is it going to take for me to create an actual change?

Like most people my goal this year is to get into shape. I have talked and talked about losing weight and getting toned for years. I've had my ups and downs, but I have never been to where I want to be. This year is my year. I have no excuse and I am doing it for good. I bought a Women's Health book The Big Book of Exercises. It guarantees you lose 10 pounds in 4 weeks by following a diet and exercise plan. This will be the jump start to my new year. In February I will begin training for the half marathon in May. I'm going to follow the plan to a T and on my cross-training days I will incorporate more exercises from the book along with hot yoga.

Living in Indiana for most of my life I know that the next four months are going to be dreadful. It's dark and cold and everything in the stores are swimsuits, sandals, and bright spring colors, which starts to get a little depressing. My goal is to keep out of the stores and stay in the gym, so when I do go into the stores this spring I will be a couple sizes smaller :)
