Next...exercise

So.the past year has been spent on losing 70 pounds. I am at a weight and in a size that I have not seen for over 35 years. However, I continue to struggle to lose anymore and must continue to watch everything I eat. This is not fun. Then suddenly it hit me, (thanks to a friend)...maybe this is where my body is comfortable. And after all..I have an entire wardrobe of very nice size 6s and 8s.

So, if I am going to be happy at this weight, do I have to be happy with the limited foods I can eat. Another lightbulb moment!! If I exercise, not only will I tone this thin body, I will build muscle which will burn more calories. For those of you still not following, this means I can eat more!!

This year will be focused on actually getting fit and toned. I am excited to find an exercise plan that will work for me. With my busy schedule, I have a hard time fitting in classes. So I am going to spend the next couple of weeks seeing what is around and how I can develop something that will work for me.

I will continue running...I love the feeling that gives me. Maybe next summer, I can beat my 38 minute 5k time.
