    @47Jacqueline I had already enjoyed reading a couple of your blog entries and have now read the rest that are listed. They summarise my own views on the aging process. I used a similar 4 step plan to successfully initiate my weight loss last January, in preparation for a hip replacement in September, with remarkable results.

    I used them again to renew and refocus at the beginning of 2016 and am now three quarters of the way to that initial goal and confidently expect to reach it before summer arrives. Exercise and sensible eating is now firmly entrenched in my lifestyle. Yoga and meditation have been an integral part of my life since my late twenties. I am healthier and fitter at 69 than I have been for a long time and I intend to stay that way.

    I also paint watercolours, and am actively involved with a life long learning charity here in Northern Ireland. Isn't Life full and interesting?

    I also dented our new truck! Fortunately my hubby does his own body work so he can fix it pretty inexpensively, but still, it's like a new car is a dent magnet! Grrrrrr.

    I've recently rejoined mfp and I liked the concept of Just for today. I've been logging in everyday for the past couple of weeks but I've not been entering my food on the food dairy yet. I've been reading all the success stories here and am feeling so motivated. So planing on starting to enter everything I eat here starting tomorrow. I'm looking for friends for motivation and support.

    @TerriRichardson thank you. I appreciate your comment. :) I'm recovering from a fractured hip although no surgery. It's interesting to read about someone who is fully engaged in my age range. I should have a subscription capability up for my blog soon. <3

    My objective (it's late and I'm really tired) is to acquire the coordinates of the Fountain of Youth and hydrate myself with its elixir.

    I will then live forever.

    Peace.
