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.

Monitor update

Using the Gofitwear monitor is opening my eyes as to just how little I move around when I am not officially exercising. Plus, the most I sleep at one time is about two hours and then I am awake for about a minute or so. Weird, huh? That probably is affecting my weight loss. I wrote about the importance of sleep in an earlier blog when I got my new bed. So, I guess I used to wake up even more times a night. I need to get this sleep thing under control. Oh how I would love to just sleep for eight hours in a row. I'd even take four hours at this point.

I went to my Pilates session today - that didn't show up as much activity. I wonder if the band wasn't working right. Hmmmm.....Tomorrow I have my training session at 7 a.m. We will see how many calories that actually burns too. This is like a recipe that has to be perfected in order to work - the right amount of calories, plus the right about of exercise EQUALS the right amount of calorie deficit to loose weight. Once I get this down there is no stopping me. Watch out family Biggest Looser Contestants!!! I didn't loose a pound this week though. But, I just started using my monitor on Saturday. So.....
