Now what?

 A little over a year ago (when I couldn't zip  my wedding dress) I started on the exciting journey that has been the past year. I have lost 70 pounds and have maintained that weight (within 5 pounds). I now have the task of finding a dietary lifestyle that will help me maintain (maybe even lose a little more) but be more real than actual dieting.

My youngest son is getting married in a month and my very slimming black dress would look much better with a few less pounds. I am currently trying the 17 day diet to see if I can lose more. The diet is easy and appears to be very healthy. I am struggling with recipes right now but I think I can adapt some of my old favorites.

I started running this summer. My son and daughter wanted to run in some 5k runs this summer. So, not to be outdone by my kids, I decided to try too. I placed second in my age group in my first 5k. Unfortunately, I have not run much since so I don't think I will be competing next weekend in the 5k we had registered for.

So..now how to make the lifestyle changes that at 58 years old, I should have made years ago but didn't. I am well on the road to being the healthiest I have ever been.
