Count down......6 months to go.

So I find myself once again disgusted with myself.   How is it that I have spent years, time, money, sweat, tears and pain to only be in the same place as I started.  I read and re-read all my posts and I sound the same....blah, blah, blah.  I'm fat, I'm tired of being fat..... WFT is wrong with me.  So here is it in black and white, IF I don't get this weight off me several things will happen.  I will live a shorter life, I will run out of clothes to wear, I will be totally embarrassed when we go to Washington for Thanksgiving this year.

So With renewed vigor and inspired motivation, in spite of a million and preceding failures, I am once again making a new run at good health.

The all over kind.  the inside-out kind.  the everything in moderation kind.  The "holy hell, I'm getting older and suddenly realize that maybe - MAYBE - I might want to live forever" kind.

Yeah.

That.

Kind.

I've made these proclamations before, but words are easy.  We all know that.  I could write a million words a day relaying all I know to be true about the road to fitness, the value of nutrition to a well-tended mind, the horrid effects of fast food, fake food, food for food's sake.

It's the meaning that is difficult.  the follow through.  The action that give the words their real power and oomph.

So, here I am, again, with words, again, promising to take care of myself, again.  But I am also here with a slightly different approach.  Seven year after losing my sister and claiming I was going to take back my life, the last grand gesture made in expressing any sort of....love, really....for myself and for sustaining this life I do so very much love to live, it's time for another grand gesture.

This time, the grand gesture will be the last.

One small commitment towards a better health every day.
One reasonable, do-able, achievable action.
One step, every day, on a journey of well-being. 

Am I incredible corny?

Yes. Yes I am.

Do I give a flying flip?

Nope, nope I don't

The point is that it be something.

One thing.

Every day.

I got this.


And when you feel you're at the end of the road, 
just lift your head up, spread your wing 
and fly away.
