One of my motivations to lose weight is so that I can get fit and be more active, specifically to be able to better play with Liam. 

But I'm in a bit of a catch-22. 

In order to lose weight I need to be more active, but in order to be more active I need to lose weight!

So I'm starting off slowly.  When I'm walking somewhere I try to pick up the speed a bit.  Yesterday at work I took the stairs up 2 flights instead of the elevator.  Liam and I went to the park and I played tag with him for a bit. 

It doesn't seem like much, but I'm finding that every day (even though it's only been 4 days!) that I feel a wee bit more energetic and willing to more.
