It is getting to be that time in my life again. The time where common sense takes over and I can no longer be happy with my bodies shape. I am a firm believer in diet/exorcise. Screw the Atkins, or the South Beach or even pills. That is the easy way out. If it is easy to lose the weight then it is easy to put it back on. I need to drop my intake an increase my movement. From there I can lose the gut.

Others around me are taking the path of healthy-ness, that however is not the reason I am seeing my need to lose the weight. I think it has to do with wanting to live a little longer. I need to emphasize (for myself) that this is for me and not because of other peoples perception or opinion. By stating that I can be seen as defensive but I feel that I need to do it for myself and not because other people think a certain way or I feel the need to fit in.

In your own time in your own way. That is what you always have told me. You have always been a believer in when it is time to do something you do it. If this is your time than hey . . . cool. I am so proud of us both for quitting smoking. It is one of the things that I wrote in my new years resolutions. Yes I have been known to smoke while out and I am sure that I will smoke in Vegas or something like that but you know the freedom that you feel when you know that you are doing th right thing. I am glad that I don't have to hide the stinky smell or take breaks at work just to get through the day. What a waste.

Anyway. . . . I am here and I will help you too. I really still would like to try to do the Friday night hikes with the family. I think that could be some good activity time.

I love you. Step by step, day by day. Always a gorgeous thing you are.
