Wow. It’s been almost four years since I last wrote anything on my blog. Four years! I have fallen out of the habit of writing, posting, taking photographs of my tables and writing down my recipes. I resolve to do better this year and hope to post something, anything, several times a week. Starting today!
Besides keeping my blog updated and interesting, I am also starting out on a new plan to get fit this year. I finally figured out that the pounds were not coming off without adding in some exercise. After much research on what would best work for me (ADD) and keep me interested and committed, I signed up for Curves for Women. I’ve been twice and hate to admit it, but I like it! There is a circuit of equipment and you change every thirty seconds thanks to a recording of a woman who says, change now. I actually got my heartrate up yesterday enough to break a sweat. I am somewhat disappointed that I haven’t lost any weight (actually gained two pounds!,) but research shows that is common as you begin to build muscle because muscle weighs more than fat.
My goal is to lose 20 pounds by June - six months - and lots of inches. I want to go foward in mid-life stronger and leaner and healthier. I think that’s a reasonable goal that I can achieve so long as I commit to my exercise program at Curves by going every other day. I’ll keep you posted on my progress!
