I forgot to post my goals yesterday.

My commitment: 20 of the next 30 days.

I resolve to use my treadmill and Tony Little Gazelle as more than just a clothes hanger. On good weather days I resolve to walk my son to school rather than sticking him on a bus. This would be good for both of us.

My reward: Faster weight loss.

2 reasons to do this: I stay on plan better when I exercise consistently and I want daily exercise to be part of my life.

My reward: New makeup!

My update: 1/30 days

HI!I'm in too.
1. I am committing to 30 days of exercise. Of either running, lifting, push-ups or stretching.

2. Reasons: I want to be more consistent. Especially on the push-ups. I keep starting week-one of the 100-hundred pushups challenge, over and over and over. I actually want to work through all six weeks, and do my hundred pushups. The other reason is I want to get back into the 140's, an area I arrived at briefly but have moved out of again recently. It may just be a dream right now, but I would love to actually be at 140. I'm 5'7" so this is a realistic weight I think; just one that my old habits never led me to. YAY!! NEW PATTERNS!

3. Reward: A new wide angle lens for the digital SLR I am getting this week.
or...something cute from lulumon.
