Getting Started

Well...50 came and went with no changes in my life/weight.  I had plenty of stressful life changes over the past year but most of them were headed down a winding and difficult path.  I know that I have managed to dodge many health problems. However, if I don't make some serious changes then all bets are off.

So my hopes in starting this blog is to commit to making changes that will become habit and lifestyle.  I expect to have some difficult times ahead.  I think my greatest fear is disappointing both myself and my kids.

After turning 51 last week, I looked at pictures of myself with a new sense of horror and disbelief. I don't recognize her...it's odd how in your mind you don't look the way you look in reality.  I believe that is why I have let myself get this far gone.

I want to grow old, play with my grandchildren on a playground, but most of all...make us all proud of me!

Here we go.....
