I&#8217;d love for you, my readers, to check in with me every now and then, asking how the plan is going, either on <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/mojitomother\" target=\"_blank\">twitter<\/a><\/strong>, facebook or the blog.<\/p>\n<p>Craig and I will be helping each other be accountable. He has a hidden six pack that he wishes to rediscover as well.<\/p>\n<p>The good news is that I have already started and today my muscles are aching from my workout yesterday.<\/p>\n<p>The bad news is that I did not work out this morning. I had good intentions, but after a rough night with sweet Savannah, I just could not get myself up early enough. Never fear I will be exercising this afternoon. Maybe just a walk to ease out the pains in my muscles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have started Operation Get My Life In Order and one of the areas is improving my health.
