In preparation for a trip in April, I want to lose some weight and exercise so that the people don’t try to push me back in the water at the beach and say to each other, “Honey, look, it’s dying!”
Yo-yo dieting and a lack of discipline have been major problems for me pretty much my whole adult life, but today, I commit to myself to do this once and for all. Not just for the trip, but for my overall health and state-of-mind as well. I have been watching this show, “10 Years Younger,” and have come to the realization that I, too, like the masses, am getting older (and have certain materialistic needs, but that is another blog). Now, I don’t think I look old for my age, but I do think I have let myself go and the one resolution I made for myself was to take better care of myself so that I look and feel better. What this show does is take these people, some of whom have really sad stories and are a complete mess, and helps them change by doing such things as having their teeth and skin fixed, helping them pick out more flattering clothes, and updating their hair and makeup. For these people, the benefits are beyond cosmetic help – they regain their confidence and feel like they can operate not just on a normal level, but on a strong, confident level. I want to feel like that.
So today I start at ground zero. Day One. The beginning. No more Jimmy Dean sausage, no more Twisted Sister. (And if you get that reference, you are my new hero.) Diet, exercise, a little pampering, and no more excuses. Normally I would go celebrate with a cheeseburger, but today, GRAPES! I always did know how to party.

I'll be suffering right there aling with you! We can miss Wendy's together! :)
Of course--you are cracking me up with the first post I read! Anyway, whatever you are doing for yourself, I'm 100% behind you, but just remember that you're fabulous now, so I guess you'll be that times 100! You go girl!
