With this warming trend comes the promise of summer; my absolute favorite time of the year! EXCEPT; that that means wearing less clothes which means showing more skin... which for me translates into...uh, oh! That's because while in hibernation during our unusually snowy winter, I'm afraid I packed on a few more pounds than I'm comfortable with. And I'm not too keen on strutting my stuff with this newly-acquired poundage.

 

Now that I'm a Boomer Chick in my 50's, shedding those few pounds is  simply not as easy as it used to be. I've dabbled with various diets yet as any good nutritionist will tell you, they really don't work. It is my hopeful intention to stay healthy and playful well into my 90's and if that's going to happen, I need to take a little  better care of this incredible miraculous machine that I'm privileged to inhabit and choose different ways to be successful.   I truly believe that if I just make some simple changes and become more aware and intentional about what I consume, I'll be on the right track. With that said, I'm ready to adopt my new mantra:  EAT LESS/MOVE MORE, which means simply...I will pay much closer attention to portion size and get my butt moving even more than I'm already doing.  

 

What about YOU? Maybe you're one of the lucky ones  who consistently maintains a healthy weight and portion intake.   Yet, if you're like the many millions of us out there; you, too, may need to make a few positive changes to live a healthier lifestyle. It does not need to be a huge change. One simple tweak or taking one little step may be all you need to begin this process thus renewing your motivation and enthusiasm.  Are you ready?
