So, this morning, this is how the conversation went:
Wife: You should go to the gym, it's 9:00am and we have to head to Ann Arbor at 10:30am.
Me: I don't have time, there's so much to do around the house.
Wife: Go. You always say that you don't have time, and you do now, so go.
Me: I don't really want to.
Wife: You wanted people to get on your ass about going to the gym, so go. No excuses, just go.
Needless to say, I went to the gym this morning. Felt pretty good about it. Did 50 crunches (the kind you do with that big ball that you lay on and it kills you) and a half hour on the elypical machine. I feel pretty good about it. Ate healthy, and it feels like I'm finally back on track.
I also was able to get the entire office put together, and I can proudly say that I'm working in my office on my computer on the wireless internet that I wasn't able to use the past few weeks.
Things are looking up. First 'bright spot' in a while, but I'll definitely take it.
Until tomorrow.

Don't worry about winning the war in one day. Just win the battles along the way.
Sounds like you're back on track.
STAY THAT WAY.
AWESOME JOB on going to the gym!! Actually going is the hardest part. You definitely sound like you're getting back on track. Just don't give up. The only way forward is to keep plugging away at exercising and eating right.
You're doing a good job. :)
Well done!
Definitely, breaking the inertia of not going for a while is the hardest part. Now, make it non-negotiable!
And you can also see that "There's too much to do around the house" has become your fallback excuse. When you hear yourself saying that, it should raise a red flag.
Keep it up!
Well, the new years coming up. Make a New Year resolution or something like, you have to do certain amounts of excercises a day. I must say though that was a good excuse..but no..you can't make excuses, you gotta go to the Gym no matter what. Even if you were carrying your own head...well I wouldn't go that far. Anyhoo, good luck, and take care.
Very glad that Erin was able to get on you about this...I am proud of her and proud of you!
