Was it an old Special K commerical that touted “you can’t pinch an inch on me”?  (I am totally giving away my age with that memory.)

As I sit here, 3 days after Thanksgiving, I know that I’ve more than an inch that can be grabbed, pulled and shaped.  I don’t like it, yet I don’t work aggressively to change it.

That changes tomorrow.  I’ve been slowly working my schedule around so waking at 5:30 feels almost normal.  Before bed tonight I will be digging out the Wii and the EA Sports Active so it is ready and waiting for me tomorrow morning.

That will take about 30 minutes.  Then I am going to read a chapter of a book I bought about a year ago but haven’t cracked open: First Place 4 Health.  Here’s the description: Based on proven techniques and a track record of 25 years of experience, First Place 4 Health will show how to create balance in the four core areas of life: spiritual, mental, emotional, and physical. All leading to weight loss and positive life change. With weight loss at the core of healthy living, readers will be encouraged and inspired to participate in personal life transformation from the inside out. The improved and easy to follow format will inspire readers to get on the road to health, making small choices for positive change every day. Accessible and filled with success stories, First Place 4 Health will motivate, inspire and educate readers to make changes for total, lasting health. I am a total procrastinator when it comes to weight loss.

I know the book tells you to track what you eat, so I’ll be using the Lose It app on my iPod Touch- which has been sitting dormant for a few months.

Wish me luck.  In all the areas of my life this is the one I feel the least in control of.
