About this blog

This is a new decade for all of us and will be a new journey for me as I turn the corner on my forties into the realm of my fifties. Hard to believe. I invite you to follow my health and fitness journey as I reach my goal of wearing a size 10-12 while I am 50 years old. I know this will be a blog filled with joys, accomplishments, and probably even some setbacks, but the over all goal will be to keep going, keep moving, keep releasing weight to be a fit and healthy 50-year-old.

Are we there yet?

It is only the 18th day of my journey and I feel like the little kid in the back seat asking "Are we there yet?" I admit it; I am impatient. I am impatient with most things in life, even the most trivial like waiting at a traffic light or suffering through commercials during my favorite TV program. I am one of those people still in the dark ages without TIVO! Maybe it is because I get bored easily. I don’t know. But, I do know that for me to make it to the end of my journey I am going to have to find a way to just keep plugging along. In the past when I would try to loose weight, I would get bored with a certain routine. And, then after about a week or two would try a new diet, a new plan – thinking maybe the next plan, or diet would be the one that finally worked. Sometime at the end of last year, I recognized that that wasn’t going to work. The only thing that was going to work was persistence, eating healthy and exercising – and, accountability - hence this Blog. I can’t wait to see what I am writing on day 100 or day 200 or day 300, or actually even day 50. I am exhausted just thinking about it!!! Should be a fun ride though!
