Battling the Bulge became a losing battle -- especially when your spouse is a mild-mannered beer taster for a small mid-western brewery! I am going to renew my fight with the bulge battle, even though it may hurt my retirement fund! Ha! It seemed that each year I put on a pound here or there until I realized over a span of 10 years (while I was teaching high school) I had put on 30+ extra pounds!

I know my biggest problem is I enjoy the weekends... maybe too much so, that I have to work extremely hard to not let it impact my goals. But I don't want to be one of these people who is constantly saying, "I can't, I'm on a diet!", or "I have to watch what I eat", or "I will be back in two hours -- I have to walk 5 miles each day to maintain my weight." My goal is to lose 35 pounds. I know I didn't put them on overnight, so I know I won't take them off overnight.

It seems harder to lose weight as I approach the dreaded "M" word and am now looking at the other side of age 50 (don't know how it got here so fast?!).
I really want to make a difference in my health so I am around to see my children get older, get married, have their own children, etc.!
