Attention: I am officially making goals!

Ok. I have been wanting to do this for a while now but I have been too scared to commit to something at which I always felt I would inevitably fail; however, I am going to see the sunny side of the street and pull myself up by the bootstraps... are you ready?

My Short-Term, Realistic Goal:

1. Exercise 5 minutes every day
2. Lose 1-2lbs per week
3. Get to bed by 10:30pm each weeknight

My Long-Term, Wishful Goal:

1. Lose 100lbs by August 23, 2010
2. Exercise 30 minutes every day
3. Get to bed by 10:00pm each weeknight and 11:30pm on Saturdays

I put up the long-term goals to show that I am hoping to accomplish something big. The short-term goals are what I am actually working towards, though I may need to borrow Mr. Ed's horse blinders in order to accomplish them. The journey will not be easy, or even remotely simple, but it will be worth it. I'm scared as all get-out, but I know that it is possible if I put one foot in front of the other and if I remember that I am not the only one who struggles with demons every day.
