My Mantra for 2015 & Life

Lose Weight, Feel Great, I'm turning 48!

Yes, this year I turn 48.  Crazy as it seems to me.  Sometimes I wonder where the time has gone.  My daughter recently turned 24 and that stopped me in my tracks as well.

I have been horribly lax in my eating and exercising lately and know that I feel better when I am active and eating whole, healthy foods.

This year has been full of wonderful times and impactful moments.

Blessings to all!

To Eat or Not to Eat - That is the Question

As a woman in her early 40s, I need to really be thinking about my health, activity and well-being.  I am not getting any younger and some mornings I can attest to that!  My sister was reading a book called Naturally Thin.  I said I would like to take a peek at it when she was done.  I am in the second half of the book.  Most of the ideas are ones that we know, just said a little differently.  I believe it is putting what I know into practice that will actually make a difference - go figure!  I am on a continuing journey for well-being and this is just one aspect that I am ready to incorporate. (this never made it to posting on 9/27 - since it is still relevant, I am posting now)

Wellness

Sometimes I get stuck in a rut of living.  Get up, get ready, go to work, work, go home, eat dinner, laundry or some other task, go to bed and start the cycle all over again.  I have been thinking about wellness recently.  Yes, it has to do with health, our bodies, eating, exercising...but it also deals with our mental and emotional states; how we feel about ourselves and others.  I have decided that at this time I am not well.  I need to get well.  I am not sure how to do so; however, I have great support and am going to start looking into getting well :-)  I have a feeling that this will be a process.  I also believe that the process will be as healing as the end result :-)
