A new beginning...again!

I feel like I just keep repeating the cycle. 
Fall. 
A new beginning. 
     The kids start back to school.  The leaves begin to turn to beautiful colors, new bible studies begin, the evenings begin getting cooler and cooler as the days go buy.  The thought of holidays fill my mind.  But the biggest change that seems to be repeating each fall, is the fact that I really need to focus on my health.  Eating healthy.  Getting my fitness minutes in.  And, if I'm lucky, losing weight.  Luckily, over the summer I did not gain any weight, but I didn't really lose any either.  (I really don't consider 2 pounds losing weight). 
     Now that the kids have been in school for several weeks and I've gotten into a semi-routine, it's time for me to be dedicated to getting my workouts in.  Not that I haven't exercised this summer.  It's just been in different forms.  Hiking, walking outside, running errands all day with kids, swimming, etc.  So now to decide if I want to do one of my MANY workout dvds, one of my workouts on our Xbox Kinect, or have a visit with my trusty friend downstairs, Henry (the treadmill).  I guess I will decide in the morning. 
     Still so frustrated at the fact that I have logged 5884 minutes of exercise for the year and my goal was 2700 for the entire year and I haven't been losing any more weight.
     Let the "new beginning" begin.
