New Year. New Me

I am tired of always being tired, my clothes getting smaller and smaller, the comments from my kids about my weight (I have a feeling I know where those are coming from), and seeing the number on the scale get higher and higher. I keep making goals without really following through or giving up on them before I can really tell if I am going to get results.
I am made my resolution last Sunday morning. (I know it is not January 1, but it is still January.) I will be down to 150 by the end of the year. I am going to workout every day no matter what! I am going to count my calories even if it is depressing that the meal has more calories than I thought it would. When I struggle, which I will, I will lean on my support system (my husband) and keep going.
To start this off, I dusted off my Biggest Loser Challenge for the Wii, and decided to do a preset 4 week plan. I am doing the Boot Camp because it is supposed to help get people who haven't been regularly working out back into the game. I am determined to complete this program! I have yet to complete any workout program from either the Wii or Xbox. This time it will be different!
I have also been getting up at 5 every morning to workout because I just simply don't know when else I can do it without the distraction of children. That part hasn't been as hard most days because my hubby gets up even earlier. I had been just laying in bed half awake, half asleep as he went in and out of the bedroom throughout the morning. I think that was actually harder on me than just getting out of bed and getting moving.
Let me tell you, Sunday was hard. I did one of the easier workouts I have done, and it seemed like the hardest. I didn't realize I was THAT out of shape. Luckily, I didn't get up early that day as well. I may have given up before I even started.
So far this week it going well. I am down about 3 pounds compared to this time last week! That is motivation on it's own!
