Starting fresh
Retired after 35 years of teaching in June 2011. Need to get back into shape and looking forward to help from new friends.
I am finding that I like to exercise! I am trying a variety of types - circuit training, aerobics and yoga! It is a great time to be alive and I am so enjoying my life now!
I am also finding I enjoy cooking more than I ever have, which is unbelievable for me. I have improved on timing my dinners and healthy choices.

thank you for your suggestion regarding my scattered life. I believe I will give it a try.
Insurance is the most important. Can't get to buy healthy food if I have no vehicle to drive.

Saw your comment about using your hand as a guide to eating dense foods when out. Me, too! Palm for protein, fist for starches, thumb for fat. it's so, ahem, handy.
