Cyndi, Loon and Bobbie - I have the same problem with exercise. As long as I'm in a routine then I'm great. But with the busyness of the holidays, exercise is the first thing I leave off. And, it's soooo hard to start back but tomorrow's the day. Right?

One thing that helps me. I don't look at it as loosing weight. I try to think of it as living a healthy lifestyle. When I'm eating right and exercising, I feel great. So that's my goal. Plus, there are still lots of active things I want to try like cross country skiing or maybe horseback riding. At 54, if I don't keep exercising and working on strength and flexibility, it will be too late to try new physcial activities.

Joanna - just eat a small portion of the pork chops and mashed potatoes. Oh, it's probably too late - your dinnertime should be over by now :) . Well, as another famous southernlady named Scarlett said "tomorrow's another day". (OH, I see you already said that!)
