There are 9 weeks until summer if we start counting this from Sunday. So we could make that our goal, or:
I have read that it takes only 7 days to create a bad habit, but 21 days to create a good habit. So we could have the nine weeks as our ultimate goal, but break it up into 3 week mini goals. That is what would work the best for me. Since I have never created an exercise habit, 9 weeks is over whelming, but if I take it in 21 day increments it won't be so overwhelming. But you choose which way you want to keep track of your own goals.
That said, I am committing to exercise Monday through Friday (and some Saturdays when possible) morning using the routine I have created for myself. It consists of Ballet stretches, 30 mins. of variations of marching in place with arm weight exercises included, stomach crunches, and I finish with another round of Ballet stretches. I did it this morning, and I feel great.
Here is what I propose for keeping track. I definitely like it where you come up with some sort of calendar that is edited rather than a whole bunch of posts. But you can do what you like.
Example :
Week 1 : M_T_(etc. where you mark the days in either as you exercise, or on the weekend you mark down the days you exercised for that week.)
Just because I want to track what I've done this week too:
Pre - Week 1:___Th_F--- the main thing is I started!! Now to keep it going!!!
I am going to count the last two days as days I have exercised. I didn't intend to, but, due to a friend in the hospital, I did a lot of walking, and now I am exhausted.
Week 1: Well, I am not off to a good start, but I walked so much in that hospital, that I decided I needed a day off, and I think I will be going back there today.
I will be glad when my friend gets out of there.___ Tues.
___ Wed. ___ Thurs. 
___ Fri. (I didn't feel like it, but I did; now I am glad I did!)___ Decided I really want to take the weekends off, but I am looking forward to exercising tomorrow!!! Everyone is doing so well. Week 2: Well, I am slowly adding more anaerobic exercises to my routine. Today, I went from doing wall pushups to doing knee pushups on the floor. Plus I have added some back exercises I saw on Martha Stewart.
_Mon.
___Tues. ___Wed. ___ not today ___Confession time: Felt like it wasn't doing me any good, so what was the point. But then Friday night, I saw what was the point when I got into a skirt that I couldn't wear a month earlier, at the same weight I am now. I understand, and I will be better next week.
Week 3:
Then I will add in my next "mini goal" after I have completed the first. ( I will probably try to include walking to the park with the kids 3x a week)
I think my final "mini goal" will be to restart practicing Messianic Dance, and teach it to my kids!!!
Let me know what you think, or if you have any suggestions.
