Time for a change

edited September 28 in Introduce Yourself
I'm a 47 year old divorced mom of two teenage boys (I've been single 12+ years) and a two-time breast cancer survivor . This is my year of changes: my oldest is heading off to college in a few weeks, my youngest is starting high school this fall, I had breast reconstruction this spring, and I am heading back to graduate school myself this September. It's time for me now. I want a new body to go along with my new attitude!

As a sedentary desk jockey, I have had my share of dieting ups and downs and am tired of this yo-yoing. I was doing so well by the end of last year then blew it over the winter. Yes, I can use the excuse of a romantic breakup and my surgery, but really it was just me being lazy. I used food and drink to soothe my soul instead of working it out physically. Well, I'm done.

    Best wishes! The desk jobs aren't all they are cracked up to be. Took me month's to get over the sedentary life style.
