Very boring and short list of Exercise Goals

1.  Develop my abdominal/core strength
2.  Aerobic exercise at the gym at least once a week
3.  Run on Wednesdays and Sundays
4. Lose 15 pound  (don't judge)
5. Reduce the use of my rescue inhaler which I will if I stick to  goal #2.

Addendum:
I have been thinking that I should do the following things every day:  push-ups, moving lunges, and some kind of sit-ups.  I suppose I should add these to the above very boring and short list.
Also, for future reference:   http://danceins.ipower.com/index.html
This place is close to me and has reasonable prices.  A future goal...

I have also been thinking that I need to make this more of a holistic approach.  I don't believe in the calories-in-calories-out theory.  I think I need to eat better food, specifically more vegetables.  Eating in is a constant goal but it requires prior planning, keeping the kitchen cleaned, keeping the frig stocked, and keeping my picky eaters (husband and son) also fed.  I'm going to have to work a whole system here if I'm going to be successful.  However, a recent inventory of the last three dinners that I have had this week:  hotdog, pizza, hamburger--has caused me to think, I'd better get on it!!!

7/16/2012--
Running on pavement has not been working out for me. I always have knee pain and or ankle pain.  I think I have to stick to the elliptical machine.  I'm considering changing gyms because there is one on the way home from work, and perhaps I could go there on Wednesdays...

I tried the push-ups, lunges, etc. every day.  Um, yeah--I'm not in shape enough to do all of them every day.  So I will play with a rotation.  I have only used my inhaler once in the last two weeks!!!!!
