Getting Better with Age
I have long term and short term goals. Short is to lose around 6-8 lbs a month. Long is to get below 200 lbs. I'm 49 and I want to get healthier so I can enjoy the later years of my life. I have been over weight all my life. I have a new look on life. I'm not as good as I want to be, but I'm better than I use to be.

Update 7/17/16 53 and just had Gastric Sleeve surgery. I was over 350 when I started this journey in April. I am now down to 292. All my clothes are baggy now. Need some recipes for high protein low carb meals. Glad to be back

A Spark Friend suggested I read this daily. So until I get my workout room finished and get on the wall, I felt inclined to include it here.
I see myself as a better person and I EXPECT others to see me this way, because I know I DESERVE it. I won't accept any less, especially from myself.
I may fall, but I will not fail. I will see my mistakes as what they are,"Oops Days", and I will continue on my journey of being a more healthy person.
