Getting healthier every day

I'm on my way to becoming the person I was meant to be: happy, healthy & fit! Little late in life; but, better late than never! Since being on my own since 2002 I initially stayed in TX for 8 years, but moved back to Illinois 9/09 to reconnect with my friends/family/community. I've developed more friendships/had more of a social life in one month in IL than I had in 8 years in TX!!!


GOALS:
June 1~150# GOAL MET
July 15~145# GOAL MET

Read your comment on TinaJean's blog post. You sound just like me. I too am trying to turn things around at a later age. I think it is really much harder with a few years in age added to the mix. Sounds like you and I could be great accountability partners.
