Day of Reckoning!

OK - well after the festivities surrounding my birthday (3 days) I have now a day of reckoning!!!  I have gained 7 pounds!  rich food , bigger portions, champagne….exhausted.  Got to do something about it….new readers start here….. emergency if I don't do something about it it - it will be like compound interest …….

So today the dreaded diet begins…. calorie counting, portion control and lots of exercise!

We all know that as Christmas approaches there is no way we can resist the goodies so we must take stock and plan so that we don't feel like a landed whale at the end of December.

I am not going to tell you exactly how much I weigh as my husband reads this but I will share my progress with my weight loss on a weekly basis….in this way you will become my conscience!

so so annoying!!

Stop the Clock!!!

Its my birthday!!!  63 today……I have had the usual jokes ….its just a number..but ……... a big number :)

As many of us baby boomers will say we don't feel any different and that is the frightening thing about getting older that in your head things are still the same.

What older age does give you is a sense of who you really are and what you value.  Your confidence and ability to say what you want to say and do as you want to do have never been greater!!

Things which used once to be so important in your life and cause stress cease to have such prominence.  They have been replaced by the people who you love and who love you.

Birthdays are a time to count your blessings and to reflect and marvel on what you have achieved so far; to revisit memories, some painful some happy: to pursue  outstanding dreams: to use your time wisely and to plan for a future which you so richly deserve !
