I’ve decided to slowly start my diet today instead of waiting for the new year. Why? Well last night we had our family Christmas at my parents’ house, so basically all of the sweets should be less of a temptation from this point forward. We do have Christmas with my husband’s family but won’t be traveling until after the big day, so there will be less sweets.

Since I plan to begin today, I need to do some sort of exercise. I will probably do some in home walking with my Christmas mix of music I bought on Amazon. I am still coming up with fun ways to exercise.

I enjoy hitting the golf ball around although I wouldn’t call myself a golfer. I just ‘window shop’ at Mizuno golf for golfing equipment, so I’m not serious about taking it up as a hobby just yet. But I’m not sure golf really counts as exercise.

Sure, you get outdoors and walk around but at a leisurely pace. You do burn more calories than just sitting inside, so on some level it is exercise but maybe not intense enough for weight loss.

So, for now I will not add it to my list of fun exercises I will be doing as part of my weight loss plan.
