It's that time of year again, the leaves are falling and old man winter is on his way. This winter I'm hoping that by posting in this blog I can use it as my sounding board for sanity and health. My goals before next summer is to drop some excess weight and be fit enough for all that summer has to offer (all those scout hikes and summer camps and such). Along with getting fit for the weddings and parties that are already filling up my calendar for 2012!
Well to start off I recently turned 40! Wow, half way to 80!! I still feel like I'm in my mid 20's (although my body reminds me from time to time that I'm not). My weight is higher than I'd like it to be and at one point in life (okay when I was like 16 years old) I was a size 4. Although, thank God, I'm not into the 20+ size range, I'm still larger than I want to be. Sure I can squeeze into some of my teenage daughters clothes but if I sneezed I'd be arrested! I've looked around and researched all the fad diets and such. Not going to kill myself to be healthy (kind of an oxymoron huh?). I'm going to get more active and do portion control and not eat late. I'll post every couple of weeks (more often if going super well) and let you know how it's going and what's happening.
Then I'm also going to assume a positive attitude. You know you've been bitching too much when you're sick of hearing yourself! Let's face it, the world is never going to be run the way I think it should be (and I'm not running for President of the United States - people want a scape-goat instead of trying to help fix the problems). Like Grandma always said (and so did my darling son last night) "Suck it up Buttercup". :)
