Last July (2014), I finally got my act together regarding my health.  I had already been attending exercise classes at the Lexington Senior Center, but it was time to start passing up the doughnuts that are regularly available, time to cut back on my servings of Thai Peanut Sauce, time to STOP EMOTIONAL EATING habits.  I've lost over 40 lbs. since July 1, 2014.  "Slow but steady wins the race."  My ultimate goal is to NOT REGAIN what I've lost.  I am still losing, albeit slowly (and those plateaus are frustrating as heck!), and am over half way to my ultimate goal.

The reality is, you CAN lose weight after having children (I was back down to 118 lbs. two years after my second child was born 27 years ago), you CAN lose weight after menopause, you CAN lose weight after the age of 60, and you CAN lose weight while taking Cymbalta and Neurontin!  You CAN get your blood glucose level under control.  All those factors make weight loss more difficult, true, but they do not make it impossible.  You have to commit to the long haul.  You have to be willing to make changes that will last for the rest of your life.

I'm going to be sharing what has worked for me in my pursuit of health.  Come along for the ride!
