horsedogmom's Journal, 29 October 2008

This is so hard for me, I always felt fortunate to be blessed with a good metabolism, have been very fit and trim and able to drop pounds very easily when needed---until I hit 45yrs, and now it seems like I just keep gaining and gaining. Every time I hit another 5lb gain, I panic and try some different diet/exercise plan and fail. I have gone from size 2 or 4 to size 12 or 14 in the past 2yrs. I have a sedentary job and have worked at home for the past 2yrs so I'm sure that has played a part in my weight gain (proximity to kitchen!!). I guess it's just like quitting smoking---you have to keep trying. So--here I go again. Trying to be sensible about eating and increase exercise--worry about next week in Florida visiting my parents, holidays coming up...........MUST STAY FOCUSED ON GOAL AND STAY ON TRACK!!!

It's very hard as you get older. One of the keys is to get in enough exercise. That includes cardio and strength training. You have to make yourself a priority. You can get plenty of walking in while visiting your parents. It's nice this time of year. Just try to make the best choices you can. For the holiday's, don't think of it as a 6 week eat fest. Remember the holidays are 1 day. I let myself eat what I want on those days (not the whole six weeks, lol). Good luck and have fun in Florida.
