Tomorrow is always a good day to start fresh. At night when I am introspective, tomorrow always looks better because it's a chance to have a new beginning. I like tomorrows.
Do you like drinking water? Water is no fun for me! There is no flavor. NO sugar. This is a very hard change for me to make and I hope I will be successful. Water is good for our bodies. It helps our muscles burn calories more efficiently.
Tomorrow, my plan is to drink at least 4 glasses of water and absolutely NO sweet tea :-( One change at a time, right?!

On The Way To A Healthy Me
Aging is no fun. But it doesn't have to be that way does it? For the past 3 years I have struggled with unwanted weight gain. I can tell my body has slowed down. I've tried to diet and exercise but have not been successful...ever! I am not a happy camper in this body that has become so foreign to me.
As I get older I realize that I can't handle a lot of change at one time, so my goal is to start slow. My short-term goal is to lose 5 pounds by the end of August. My long-term goal is to lose 20 pounds by the end of November. I want to exercise 30 minutes at least 3 days a week at the beginning, but work up to 45 minutes 5 days a week. Check back with me to see how it is going.

A New Beginning With Accountability
I recently watched the movie Julie & Julia and was so inspired by Julie starting her own blog to keep her accountable in order to finish something for once in her life. I must admit that I am a lot like Julie...I love to start things but it has always been very difficult for me to follow through and finish. This is for me.
Hi, I'm Margit, a 47 year old middle-aged woman, going through bodily changes, emotional changes, mental changes and spiritual changes. It's like being a teenager again. A roller coaster ride of ups and downs, not knowing what to expect from day to day. Unfortunately I have gray hair hidden under my highlights to prove that my youth is long gone.
Today I read a friend's blog (K.P.) about her journey to lose weight. I was so encouraged and wanted to start making changes of my own immediately. However, I am not a fast starter, nor do I stick to what I start, ha, ha.
This blog is to give me accountability, like Julie, to keep moving towards my goals as I seek to make changes in my life. For once I want to start something and finish it well. If you are trying to make changes like me, I hope this will encourage you to stick to your plans and meet your goals, whatever they may be.
My first focus will be on becoming more healthy.
