New Goals

I've decided on a few ways to check my progress without the scale. First, my new weight loss buddy (my handsome hubby) and I have given each other a challenge to walk 100 miles by March 1st. We're thinking that if we meet the goal we'll treat ourselves out for a Babysitter Date to do something active rather than our usual going out to eat. Maybe we'll even let the winner choose the destination. As it stands right now, I consider it a real treat just doing the walking together since we get out alone for our 15 minute mile each day. :-)

I've also committed to One Up myself with my Morning 15. One Up means I am going to do one more of each exercise each day. I'll focus on one more sit-up, push-up and Up-Down (that's what we call stair climbing in these parts) each day. I may even apply it to my Wii workout. I'll have to see how that plays out.

I'm glad to have some other ways to track my progress. It will be good, since it will be obvious whether I'm getting stronger or not. The 100 Miles by March challenge is great, as it will get me outside for fresh air during these cold winter months when I would otherwise hibernate and get lazy.
