No more excuses

I'm getting a jump on some of these resolutions today.  I know I've just been making excuse after excuse why I'm not loosing any weight.  Things like:

• John's home on vacation, I can't possibly eat healthily while he's home



• Oh, John's watching some sports show I don't care about, I think I'll sit with him and bitch about not getting to watch good TV instead of working out



• I just didn't have time to get on the elliptical during Alex's 3 hour nap.



• Let's celebrate the last day of John's home vacation by eating burritos the size of our heads!

And so on.

But today, John is officially back in the rat race, so I can't use him as an excuse anymore.  I'm going to try out 'mall walking' you know, going to the mall before it opens and walking briskly around.  This will also help in my goal to get Alex out more because after we walk I can take him over to the play area for a few minutes (provided other kids are there too I suppose).  We'll see how it goes.
