With the coming and going of my 45th birthday, I've decided to make some changes in my life. I dusted off my cookbook that has recipes geared towards my blood type. I've done this before and managed to drop almost 30 pounds. I did it once, I can do it again. I'm going to miss my dairy products --- cheese is a staple that I must always have on hand. No wheat products --- this includes breads and pastas. No potatoes unless they are of the yam family. And the list goes on.
My excercise routine has been close to non-existent since I moved to the Back Forty. Morning walks are out of the question due to lack of streetlights at 5am. Getting to the treadmill at the EMS building requires waiting in line if I try to get to it after work. Why not do an evening walk? Well, that's what it comes down to. Other chores can wait until later in the day. The evenings are getting cooler so I don't have to worry about becoming a puddle of mush in 100 degree weather.
And then there is this hideous excuse of a hairdo I have. I made an appointment with my hairdresser for next Wednesday. I told her that it is time to change the hairstyle. She got a look of glee in her eyes and a smile that said, "Oh, goody goody gum drops!" She sent me out the door with a couple of "hair style guides" and told me to look through them for hairdo ideas. This ought to be interesting....
And so until I find the Fountain of Youth, I do know I need to take better care of what I have been given to work with. I really am going to miss my cheese.

I'm there with you, Robin. Tomorrow I'm going to take one step away from that stranger in the mirror by starting an exercise program. But I don't think I'm going to be able to give up my cheese just yet.
Let's just say that I have muscles in my legs that I forgot I had. But it is that very pain that tells me that I must be doing something right! WE CAN DO THIS!
