Been here almost two years....

And I am heavier than I've ever been in my life. I am now 8lbs heavier that I was when I gave birth 27 years ago. I've recently had a complete medical work up and it shows that I am not struggling with medical issues that are causing weight gain. As I age, I am shrinking. I am now at the height where I can be declared "handicapped". Really?!? When the casting call came out for the prequel Oz...I met the height restrictions for the munchkins.

So...I have gravity and age against me. And...I have tried many different things to lose weight and I am still gaining. I am now down to a whole-food diet and eliminating processed food from my daily diet. I am also hydrating with filtered water and green tea.

I have felt disappointed, angry, discouraged...but today, I am resolved. I am willing to go to the gym for cardio & weights. I think I am moving toward running. I am not there yet, but I fully understand that I must address the changes in my body that menopause (early onset...going on 16 years plus age plus genes) if I want to be fit and look the best that I can.

So here goes....
