Almost 50

Well I have slightly over 1 month before the big 50th birthday.  I am down to 157 so I have 7 lbs. to lose before I can hit my goal of 150 by 50!  I am in my 2nd semester at GCC and just got accepted into the nursing program.  A am literally starting my 3rd career after 50 as an RN.  I love life and learning new thing.  When I was a biology teacher my weakest area was human biology.  I always said to myself "I really need to get in depth on the human body".  And now I am!!!!

Belly Dancing!

I got back on the horse and now have lost 4 lbs.  I am living by the 80/20 rule-eat right 80% of the time and eat what you want the other 20%. That way you aren't feeling totally deprived.  I have also begun belly dancing which is so fun with my girlfriends!  Don't beat yourself up if you eat something 'bad' remember the 80/20 rule.

Yoga and core work for beginners

Not off to a great start

Well Wednesday was a snow day with the kids home from school and a couple of their friends were over.  I didn't get to walk, I did some stretching but honestly I ate quite a bit of food yesterday including 2 sundaes from McDonalds (love those for only 1$).  Instead of beating myself up I will keep going and get back on the program!!  Small changes over time lead to big changes.

Start of the Fit by 50 journey!

Here is the link to the yoga exercise to flatten the belly and I'm implementing an interval walking program starting TODAY.  I am taking body conditioning (PED 171) at GCC in Batavia and have already started using the bike and treadmill for interval training.  I have started yoga for stretching, flexibility and balance.  Interval walking is an easy way to step up an existing exercise program.
