    I'm finding getting back on track with my eating is proving more challenging than expected. I've up'd my workout routine, but it just makes me want to eat more. Especially after Xmas there's quite a bit of leftovers and of course chocolate!

    I put the yummiest treats in the freezer. Most Christmas cookies actually freeze well, and now it's less tempting to graze on them! I'll defrost them when I have guests over.

    For extra motivation I entered a HealthyWage challenge.

    (My actual due date is 29-Sep-2015, but losing 20lbs by Easter would be a good milestone putting me in striking distance of my goal. Missing it? Well..!?! Let's not do that. :))

    I have started the logging of food and the attempt to get to 10K steps per day... it is getting there :)

    I have been off and on with My Fitness Pal, this is the year. I have 5 grandchildren and one more on the way and want to be around for a long healthy life with them. And yes, today is a fresh new page in the book.

    A Clean Slate ~
    "Every man should be born again on the first day of January.

    Start with a fresh page." ~Henry Ward Beecher

    A fresh page or a clean slate.

    January 1st is a chance to start over.

    This year, believe that anything is possible...

    1/1/15: I will find a new job this year!
    1/1/15: This year, I am going to continue losing weight. By summer, I will be at my goal weight of 150 lbs. I will be successful by:
    1. Logging my foods
    2. Continuing to exercise 2-3 times per week (on my days off)
    3. With-staining from alcohol, starting with the month of January
    4. Continuing to eat right
    The last 2 months have been a little slower because I have let myself indulge over the holidays. However, the holidays are over! It is time to get back on track and make sure that I am treating my body the way that it needs to be treated!

    I really like the ideas posted!
    Thank you very much.
    I can't add anybody as a friend, can anybody help? I also can't look at any body's profile.

    It's nice not to be the only one over 50.
    I find it much harder to lose weight than twenty years ago.

    These are all great motivations. I am printing the "This Year..Believe that anything is possible..." quote and putting it on my fridge. That one has all the points I want to achieve this year. I am going to add Be Grateful to the list since I want to remember to appreciate life and be thankful everyday . Thank you!
