Doin' It My Way...







 For the past few weeks I’ve frequently allowed my calorie counts to exceed my daily goal, and in some cases by more than 100. This has been happening because I’ve allowed my focus to stray. In other words, I’ve allowed life to interfere with the most important pursuit which is my health. And so now, the day before Thanksgiving I am once again taking the train and placing it gently back on the Healthy Evolution Tracks. I will be monitoring myself closely. I will be updating my tracker and maintaining my daily posting as well as Healthy Evolution postings.

I consider this all part of the journey – learning how to deal with life in all of its many forms and learning to maintain my goals in spite of it all. I cannot allow 'busy' to side track my efforts. As I’ve mentioned in the past, I was not born and raised into a healthy environment. This is all new to me, I’m teaching myself and learning as I go – “Doin' it my way”. This process is lifelong and the road is winding. I learn from every day, week and month that goes by. And I can say this with absolute certainty - this is such an exciting journey.

For now, I’m wishing everyone a Wonderful and Healthy Thanksgiving. Enjoy!!
