2/22... LOST AND FOUND. Total Daily Calories: 1848

I chose a new name for my blog – something that I feel reflects not only the reason for the journey,  but also something about the destination. I’ve struggled with my weight as long as I can remember.  I’m 50 now and I spend an awful lot of time thinking about the aging process. My joints have taken a real beating, RA does a lot of it but all this excess weight is stressing them to the max. So here’s what’s gonna happen. I’ve decided that 2014 is the year that I take control of this battle. This is the year of serious change. I’ve decided to be as healthy as I can be. I’ve decided to give my precious joints some much deserved assistance and relief. I’ve decided that it’s time to find out who I am – and I assure you it’s not an obese, out of control person.  So, as the days turn into weeks and the months slowly pass – I’m going help myself grow emotionally stronger, lose this weight, gain physical strength, and change my self-image. I’m taking a new approach to weight loss. I’m gonna let my body teach me how to lose weight and get strong. It’ll be an evolution. I hope all of you will stick around for the journey because I think it’ll be an exciting one.
