Intentions...

There's an old saying that talks about the road being paved with good intentions. I'm realizing that fitness is the same way. I have so many good intentions about my personal health and fitness. But good intentions won't make a dent on the scale. I remember before I had my 6 week check-up feeling so much excitement over getting out there and getting in shape. I remember just wishing I could do sit-ups every night or something to get in shape. Now that I've been given the okay, I'm still having a hard time getting out there. Granted, I have a high-maintenance 7 week old. It makes it hard to make committments with my time. But I'm realizing now that my intentions, as great as they are, will not get me anywhere without making the choices and acting. I'm not going to get down on myself, but hope that this realization will help me to start acting, not just dreaming. As things settle down around here I'm sure that I'll be able work things out. Especially with a hubs who is so extremely supportive. The road to fitness may not be paved with good intentions, but perhaps it's a start. :)
