Exercise

I'm at around 280lbs. so I definitely need to reconsider my lifestyle as far as exercise goes. It's been hard since my son was born since all I do is wake up in the morning, go to work and come home and play with my son. After he's in bed (9:30 PM) I then prepare myself to go to bed and then get on my computer. I'm trying to figure out if going for a quick run after my son goes down for a nap would be a good start to trying to get some sort of exercise during the week. I've been concerned about this for a while. I do believe that my health is important but for some reason it gets pushed to the back burner when it comes to my responsibilities. However, I'm worried that if I keep doing that I'm going to regret it later.

Perhaps taking a break at work and going for a walk or right after work? Seems like a good idea, however, that requires me bringing some workout clothes every day. I don't know how well I could keep track of that. Not to mention another pair of shoes. There are different things I'm considering but I haven't come up with a good plan yet. I think the difficult thing about it all is finding the time to do it and for how long so that it can be an effective plan. I consider myself to be an all around guy which can be a problem because I take interest in everything and my girlfriend once told me that I have an 'addictive personality'. This is definitely true because once I get started on something I feel like I have to finish it... it's like I become obsessed with whatever it is I'm doing and lose track of time and everything around me. Makes me wonder if there are others like me or if everyone is like me in that sense. Since I like lots of things I tend to be distracted and "focused" on a lot of things. If that makes any sense :). Anyway, back on track... I'll work on a plan... it's definitely no going to start today because today is my son's birthday!
