Exercise...in the morning??!! Am I nuts?

I did some searching on the web last night on how to lose weight quickly.  I am going to Disneyworld in two weeks and wanted to see about losing some weight as I always put on a few pounds while there.

So, I found this site: http://www.nowloss.com/Weight_Loss_78.htm

Basically, it was to encourage me to get up and exercise first thing in the morning.  Two comments on that:

1.  Being out of shape and lazy, it is very difficult to get out of bed early enough to fit in exercise.  For me, that means getting up at 6:00 am which is hard when I am usually up with my wife until 11:30pm (by choice of course).
2.  Are they nuts??

So, maybe it is better than exercising later in the day.  Logically, I can understand the science behind it.  But, at 6:00 am, I can barely drag myself out of my comfortable bed and stumble my way to the shower, much less try to exercise for 30 minutes.

For a better and healthier life, I know I have to change this mentality.  Let's see if I can find time somewhere today to exercise.  My instinct however, as I am working from home today, is just to curl up on the couch with my laptop and spend the day online working.

If I type super fast, my fingers will get exercise, right?

Where to begin...

So, being new to blogging and not knowing the first thing about where to start...I will start with a little more about me.  Here is what I can tell you straight off:

1. There is nothing extraordinary about me.  I am your average person just doing what it takes to get by.
2. I am always 100% honest.  So, starting with my title to my blog, you can tell a lot about me.  I am
• Overweight
• Very Lazy (it is amazing how many projects I will start and not finish - so who knows where this will go)
• I am a guy.

I can also tell you this one additional thing about it...

I have decided that now is the time to change (I think this is attempt # 293 to do so).  What makes this time different?  This time I have a blog and...well, nothing else.  I am staring my own mortality in the face at 38 (although I am not dying, the way I live my fat/lazy life, I cannot be around long) and working on trying to do what I need to do to be around for my wife and my children. 

So, what thoughts do I have going into this life changing I am hoping to do with no place to start?   Let's start with these:

- Where does one begin to take the first step?
- What area of my life do I start in?  Laziness?  Weight?  Attention to family?
- Is there any chance I will succeed where I have had zero success before (measuring success as something I am able to carry with me more than just a few weeks)?

Here is hoping that this time is the charm!!
