A Journey to a Healthier Me

Update January 2012 -

This is a New Year and a fresh start for me. The past year was one of ups and downs; with 3 teenagers my life is hectic to say the least. This year I will work get fit and healthy with the help of the UMass Weight Center and my family. We are all going to learn to ski this year if the weather ever cooperates. This will add to my cardio options. I need to keep things balanced; focusing on my health goals but also being in the real world with my family. ...

This is a New Year and a fresh start for me. The past year was one of ups and downs; with 3 teenagers my life is hectic to say the least. This year I will work get fit and healthy with the help of the UMass Weight Center and my family. We are all going to learn to ski this year if the weather ever cooperates. This will add to my cardio options. I need to keep things balanced; focusing on my health goals but also being in the real world with my family. The only way to do this is to include them in my goals. Fortunately this is now possible. Taking my daughter to the gym and grocery store with me will give us time together and she will keep me focused. Walking the dog with my youngest son will also encourage both of us to get some cardio in. My oldest will graduate HS and head to college this year. He enjoys hiking in the mountains so this spring and summer I will use that as an opportunity for time with him. Golf and Skiing with DH will keep us close and healthy. Here's to 2012!

Very cool on you finally wearing that new shirt! This weekend I went and regrouped my closet. What I can wear now, what I can wear in 10 pounds and what I can wear in 20 pounds. After that I need new clothes.

Great thought on keeping my eye on the focal point. I've recently seen a quote that has resonated, too. And that is "do what you say you're going to do." I change the you's to I's and it feels right. Hope things are good on your end.
