Need to do more Exercise

I really need to up my activity levels and do some more exercise. I have been spending far too much time in front of the computer lately. I think the one way that should help me do more exercise is plan it into my day.

I have quite a few exercise dvd's I could do and the weather is still so nice here that there really is no excuse for me not to go for a walk every day at the very least. So I think I need to plan on doing my dvd's every other day first thing in the morning before I turn the computer on and get distracted by my emails and blog reading.

It is probably the best time first thing in the morning before it gets too hot here. Lately I've been getting up a good 2 hours before everyone else to enjoy some peace and quiet and me time so it wouldn't hurt me to do 30 minutes of an exercise dvd first thing. Then as I increase my energy levels I can increase my exercise time by 5-10 minutes per week till I can do the whole dvd.

We are so lucky to live on such a lovely ireland and there are some lovely costal paths we could walk along too with great views. Perhaps when I take dh to work in the evenings me and the kids could walk along the beach and watch the sunset. I am sure walking on the sand would be really good exercise as it takes much more effort than walking normally.

I am really hoping that doing the exercise will help me tone up too as I go on this journey to a new me. So far I am enjoying it and it doesn't feel like a diet even though I am following weight watchers. It just feels like I am eating healthier and making better food choices. I don't feel as though I am depriving myself which is most important as usually if I start a diet I go at it all guns blazing and lose well in week 1 and put it all back on and more in week 2.

It also helps that dh and the kids are joining me in eating healthily. Even J, my ds, known as Chicken Nugget Kid as that was literally all he would eat will now have peas and sweetcorn and both the kids are eating much more fruit. They love pears, apples and cantaloupe melon. Going to try them with some kiwi later and see what they make of that.

Its my 2nd weigh in tomorrow evening so I had better get off here and go and do an exercise dvd.

Have a great week.
