I decided last week that since I can't seem to a) get out of bed on time, ever b) manage to make it to work out 3 times a week at my gym and that c) I am officially the heaviest I have ever been in my life and d) I'm always at least 5-10 minutes late for work every day, that things need to change. I decided to start getting up at 6 (with my housemate making sure I'm up), taking the dog for a walk, then I'm back home in time to shower and get ready for work and actually leave the house on time.

Today was the first day I did so, and I'm between walk and getting ready for work. I've discovered the leash we have is too short- we have a fairly large dog and I bumped into him a lot- and that our dog sniffs EVERYTHING. (shut up, I've never walked a dog that did that before, or maybe the other dog was just smaller and therefore easier to pull away from stuff) We only walked about 20 minutes or so today, but I'm sure we'll build up to longer ones. especially once my new friend gets here.

Good for you. After 3 weeks its a habit .. just get past the three weeks.

Yup. I'm not a morning person either, but good for you making the effort. I've started going again to work out at Foothill.
