To finally start a diet and exercise program to help me get down to a healthy weight. My dad died at 68 from a heart attack so I have risk factors. I figure it's also about time I start taking care of my physical health the way that I've spent the last couple of years focussing on my mental health.

A girlfriend and I are both going to start the South Beach Diet early in the new year and be motivation for each other. We both want to want to lose a similar amount of wieght so it should be good to have support.

I also have given myself a harp goal. i do much better with goals. I want to have an hours worth of music up to performance standard so that I can play at next year's AA Christmas day drop in. This will give me real motivation to get over my emotional hang ups about playing and give me motivation to practice.
