My name is Syd. I'm 51. I'm feeling a realistic goal is 10 lbs...although 20 might make me feel sexy again. I'm a secret eater...tend to do the right thing in public...and then hit a drive thru or candy jar. I'm good at "only today." Talks in my head. Goal is 10k steps minimum per day...will achieve by parking the farthest out at work...using stairs instead of elevator...drinking water instead of my tea fixation, logging my intake of all that passes my lips. I'm great at coaching others...need to listen to my own advice...walk the talk. My husband is a workout-aholic...makes me want to sit down more...need to change my mindset...time to be all about me. Thanks for a space to right this out!

    Those are great ways to start Syd!

    I love parking way back in lots, just to get more steps...and easier to park my truck :P
