I've started exercising
I've been exercising 2-3 times a day for the last few days and it feels good. I either go 20 minutes on my Gazelle or take a walk around my block 2x for a total of a mile. Now that it's dark early I'm feeling a little more comfortable walking outside. I like that people can't see me. It's getting colder here in Utah, but that's what coats, hats and gloves are for. When there's snow on the ground (like we're supposed to get next week) then I'll do more on my Gazelle.
I've been getting up early so that I can get a good 20 minutes of exercise before my kids get up, then after they're all at school I try to do another 20 minutes and I do my last 20 min. in the evenings...my alone time.
I'm amazed at how much more energy I have. I LOVE IT!!!! I also love that I'm eating less. I don't have the cravings for sweets and junk food that I normally have. I guess I don't want to eat the junk and cancel out the exercise I've been doing. 
Now, If I could just get the energy to do housework...no amount of exercise is going to make me want to housework.
