Blog set up day

It's April 24, 2010. I'm 42, and starting to feel it. I've managed to take care of my skin, but my body is falling apart. I have pursued weight loss in the same way a zillion others have, with sets of #'s in my head: Ideal weight, Ideal jean size...you get the picture. I've crossed the 40 mark, realizing that I'm never going to be picked for Mrs. America. So, I just want to be energetic. I have a son who is 4 years old, and I want to be able to keep up with him athletically. If a few pounds come off, well, .. great. But climbing a set of stairs without passing out is all I care about these days. My knees are creaky, my right shoulder takes a beating from hours of hair cutting. IT's time to strengthen and quit hurting.
