The Journey to a Healthier Me begins today!

Two years ago I was at an average weight, but since then I have grown a few sizes. It has snuck up on me and I don't appreciate it. Not one bit. I am at a computer most hours of the day, but I have been for years, so that's not it. I had a baby 9 1/2 years ago and was thin afterward, so that's not it. I can't find a good excuse, so I better start a good plan.

Today the journey began with a body age assessment at Gym, formerly known as Body Solid in downtown Enid, OK. Cecilia used a neat-o contraption and program that measures and calculates all kinds of things (don't worry - no body fluids and no blood taken). Then it spits out things you don't want to know, but things you need to know. It offers suggestions on activity level, kinds of activities, food plan based on what you are willing to eat and what you should eat, etc. It is not a one-size-fits-all thing, it's a this-plan-fits-you thing.

After looking at my assessment, the BAD news is: there's lots of room for improvement. The GOOD news is: there's lots of room for improvement!

It is time for me to make time for myself, get healthier and teach my daughter the value of having a healthy lifestyle.

By the way, don't even think that I'm going to post my weight, but since we're on the subject, I'll say that I have a whopping 42% fat mass. What that means is... DAD GUM!
