I CAN TOO do this!
I am starting on my second half of my life. I did lots of things - or did NOT do lots of things - for everyone else but me in the first half of my life...well, no more. I'm motivating myself to be healthier and inspire others. To those who say I cannot do this, I CAN 2 do this!
Think it would be a good idea for now if I only ate measured food...no "guessing" - know I could measure and weigh things but I end up cheating and that's only cheating myself. If I eat protein bars ...

Think it would be a good idea for now if I only ate measured food...no "guessing" - know I could measure and weigh things but I end up cheating and that's only cheating myself. If I eat protein bars and slim fast, along with spinach and other things that I CAN eat unlimited amounts of, then I should be ok. I need to focus on flattering clothes clothes, Y membership to recover range of motion on the knees and loving myself enough to buy training hours for myself instead of wondering if that's selfish. I don't care if it is! I need to be selfish for me, if that's what it's considered. I mean, other people do what makes them happy - like leave or betray - (long story for another time but motivational for now)...and I LOVE the feeling I get after I work out. I wonder if I'll ever be able to get back to the level I was even 70 pounds ago...I just want to be me...and that really is a competitior, an outdoor woman and someone who inspires myself and hopefully others by just the process itself.
