You know Im starting to get that old adage of an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Yeah...Id prefer to have focused on those ounces than these pounds! I think I'm turning into a crazy person...I see a 20 something with a soda and a big ol' cheese burger and I want to run over and say "Don't do it! Your body wont keep that size 5 with babies, and stress, and age, and hamburgers....start taking care of it now!!!"  I haven't crossed the line to FULL BLOWN CRAZY because I haven't followed through on my urges... yet!

I'm still working on my healthy goals for my body. Yes, I am slowly and successfully taking weight off and getting stronger. Why don't we listen to older people when we are strong and young? Why don't we work to keep our bodies firm and strong? I'm telling you running stairs and lifting weights makes me want to cry, so I've changed up my plan a little. I decided why torture myself?! There are plenty of active activities which I find fun and meet my goals.  So no more of the things I hate. More yoga...more walks...more swimming... more dancing until I'm giddy and out of breath. 

I hope you will find time to live life to the fullest and quit worrying so much about that scale and more on creating beauty and health in your life. Embrace and draw into your presence people who support you and not sabotage you. Walk with friends... tell them of your successes and your struggles. Be with people who make you laugh! Eat delicious beautiful healthy food. Drink lovely spring water which comes clean from the earth.  Above all make sure you are having fun and living life to the fullest. Go ahead... make your life delicious!
