getting close to 50

You wake up one morning to realize that two of your children are married, and one more will be married in April. Your daughter is going to have your first GRAND baby --"Little Beeper"-- and 50 just got closer FASTER. I like the name of this site--myFITNESS...
Being healthy is very important!

As we get older, it gets harder to stay fit. I am not sure if it is because we are just tired or we get to the age that we are just comfortable.

A few weeks ago, i was trying on dresses for my daughter rehearsal dinner and wedding when I had to go up one more size AGAIN. Three years ago, I wore a size 6. Now I am looking at size 10. In August 2009, I weighed in at 133. By the end of September, 2009, i was at 138. Then, I hovered around 140 for the past 8 months. Recently I hit 145.

This may seem trivial to worry about only 12 pounds, but I am not comfortable. I was a fat girl until I hit the 8th grade. I lost 30 pounds the summer before I started the 8th. I discovered walking. I still love to walk. Kids were mean.

Here I am, 35 years later--struggling to lose back down to my ideal--132.

It doesn't matter how much you have to lose. I think being healthy is the key. Having the wlll power to avoid the evil vending machines--like I have one right outside my office door. Or just taking good care of ourselves. It isn't easy!

My daugher told me about this site.

I think it will be fun!

Everyone,
Take care and have fun!
