Is 50 Really Fabulous?

I am 52 years old, so I have had 2 years of wondering how fab 50 really is. I honestly don’t feel fabulous. My life is wonderful! I have 4 independent children that are where they are suppose to be, a perfect husband that adores me and loves our children, supportive friends around me, an in home business I started 24 years ago and going strong. So what am I needing? Shut up and be happy, right? Last night I told my husband that I feel I am in a funk. A mid-life crisis? Maybe?

So what do I need to do to get past this and feel better about who I am?

Well, I would like to lose weight. To reach my ideal weight I would have to lose 100 pounds. Currently I have no health issues. But I feel that I am on borrowed time with that and need to lose the weight before it becomes a problem. So what program will work the best?

Diets: I know all the rules for all the diets, I just get bored or fall back into bad habits. So what will work best for me? I began journaling my food intake on January 1, 2019. My inspiration to start this was that my husband’s New Years resolution is to lose 100 pounds. So doing this as a team will be great support and with the kids away at college, we are just shopping and cooking for us.

Through this past month I have lost and gained and lost and gained. As of today I am down 2 pounds!! Woot Woot! Looking at my food journal trend, I am under carbs, over protein and fat.

So this blog is going to be part of my journal. My actual New Years resolution was to start this blog. Go me!!!! Now to keep it up and lose the weight.
