The beginning

My goal right at the moment is to get my emotional eating under control and start with wee baby steps exercising. After buying my first home on my own a few months ago (had bought a few with my ex husband...but doing it alone is immeasurably different) my kids finally twisted my arm into getting a dog, something that REQUIRES me to get out and walk every day, particularly on those days that the kids are at their dad's house.
Although I sort of started tracking last week, this week is my official start date. The kids are on vacation and I have a lot of down time because of that to think about and work on getting a good jump start.
The thing I really love is getting out in the morning. There are things I'm seeing that I would be missing otherwise. This morning, Maggie (the dog - lab / greyhound mix) and I saw a mama duck and 8 little ducklings on the pond at the park near our house and a little fawn out nibbling some breakfast. :)
