Here We Go

I have spent a lifetime reading about good health and what that entails.  I've almost joined Weight Watchers, Curves, Golds Gym, YMCA, and any other resource available to mankind.  I turned fifty last year and will be fifty one in two months.  This is the decade I want to regain my health and good fitness.

I never was disciplined with eating or working out during my youth.  Youth allows grace for a whole lot of bad eating.  It caught up with me starting in my forties.  All of a sudden food became very important; if I had to pick between my husband and a large pizza from Pizza Hut......I'm just saying.

But now I'm ready....to some the amount of weight I would like to lose is trivial.  That's their opinion this is my journey.  I'm recording daily what I have eaten on this blog and the exercise that was done that day.  Any tips I come across I'll share or anything else I want to.  You are welcomed to comment but civilly.  I am also a child of Christ and will not tolerate offensive language on my blog...that's my right.

I read an article in Good Housekeeping for August that I liked.  This mother-daughter wanted to lose weight together, so they bought a charm bracelet.  For every five pounds they lost-they bought a charm.  I like that idea so I plan on using it.  

I don't know if I'll post my weight...really don't know if it's that important.  My weight doesn't define me; it's just making me uncomfortable.  So starting tomorrow (Monday of course) my journey begins.  My hope is that I will be held more accountable if I just put it out there.  Till then......
