<----------See that profile picture over there? That was me 5 years and 50 pounds ago. Before depression. Before abilify messed with my ability to regulate insulin. Before the act of merely getting out of bed was a challenge. Before... when I actually DID things.

It's time for a change. I was reminded of Newton's First Law of Motion, you know, the old object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion yadda, yadda, yadda. I've been at rest for far too long. I need an unbalanced force to get me moving. Today that force is the fear of closing in on 200 lbs.

Tomorrow I will embark on a hundred day fitness journey. I want to see if the act of moving will continue to propel me forward in other areas of my life.  I will commit to no less than 15 minutes of exercise a day. That is just the baseline. Ideally, I am going to aim for 30-60 minutes per day.

I know I will struggle. I know there will be days that I will hate it. But what choice do I have?
