Is a resolution if you're not resolute?

So the husband and I have decided to motivate each other this year, which is a good thing. We both need to loose weight, some more than others. I put some thoughts in the burning wicker man on New Year's Eve - things for the two of us to leave behind in the new year. Those were:

- 50 cumulative pounds
- Our unnatural love of the couch

I'm hopeful.

The plan is to get off of said couch at least 3 times a week and do something kind of sporty. I imagine this will include walking, biking, kayaking (later in the year), and possibly going to the gym.

We're already eating pretty good and pretty healthy, although some of us need to eat less of that healthy food. Now we need to add on to that.

I'm weighing in at 221 this morning. I'm not feeling too bad about that as it means that I weathered vacation without gaining any weight. I plan to weigh in every Sunday morning. There's a doctor's appointment in March, so let's see how I'm doing then. We're aiming for less weight and lower blood pressure. That's a good goal!
