i did it... i went for a walk today, only a mile but still it is a start! i also played with my wii fit this evening - i was unable to put equal balance on my injured knee, it wasn't perfect and there's still a few games that i can't quite do but i will get there! 
today was not only a great day, because i actually worked out but i ate super great all day. that made me think that i should do a food log as well - they say that you need to be accountable for all actions... so this is the beginning of that.
