You're hired

You already have a job, you say?

Tough. You're hired anyway. Especially since these two seem to be committed to their current employment, and don't foresee a relocation to Southern Oregon in the near future.

You, lucky readers, are now going to be my personal trainers. Aren't you thrilled? (Don't you wish you could actually get a paycheck for it, though?)

So, here's the deal .... my NEW New Year's Resolution (you all remember how I feel about those, right?) is going to be all about getting into shape. Yeah, yeah, old news, I know, but this time, I have a better incentive.

YOU.

It was my husband's idea. When I complained yesterday about my growing waist size (and get this, I NEVER complain about my weight gain to him. Ever. It's like the elephant in the room-- no pun intended--but it's there, and we both know we both need to get into shape), HE said, "Well, maybe, if you didn't spend so much time blogging, you might have time to work out!"

What? What???!!!! Wait a second... I think you may have something there, dear...

Because, honestly, I know I spend too much time on this here little computer. He wasn't telling me anything I didn't already know. Still, it's my sanity and my release from life's little realities some times, and everyone needs a break. But there must be moderation in all things, right? And when I think of all the time I sit here like a potato when I could be burning calories, I say to myself, why can't I do both?

So, from now on, I am grounding myself from the computer. Every day, I can't blog until I get my exercising done. And because I need validation and incentives like little sticker charts as accountability, I'm going to record my progress right here on my blog. So, if for the next six weeks, if you see a blog post without that little BLURB at the bottom, would you please send me a cyber slap? Or at least, cheer me on -- I need all the incentive I can get!

And just for my own information, what do you all do to stay in shape?
