This is my self-centered rambling about weight, exercise, healthy living, life on the farm, travels with horses....oh, who am I kidding...it's my never-an-unexpressed-thought-or-opinion about my life. And maybe your life, like it or not.

My first day...am I going to like this?

Well,  not really my first day.  It's a lifelong problem: health/fitness/fatness/EATING.  This first blog will be short, which is not my usual MO, but I'm not sure I'll like it.  I mainly want an outlet for my ramblings/frustrations, so I'll stop sending extremely long emails to my friends.

I'm middle aged, fat, but active.  Ride horses, hike, ......is that enough to qualify as being active?  I guess.  Add: clean the barn.  The biggest problem is that I enjoy eating, especially sweet things.

I need to lose some weight. My knees are hurting, and if I may be blunt, it's even difficult to stand up from the toilet.  I've lost before, then gained, then lost, etc. You get the picture.  So...again.

My husband and I started Nutrisystem a week ago today. This is my last resort. If this doesn't work I'm going to lap banding.  The Nutrisystem food is NOT good.  I've also gotten back on the treadmill, walking and beginning to run a bit.  Now, when I say "run," it's a relative term.  My kids say I walk faster than I run.  Think: George Burns in "Oh God."   Still, I'm running, a bit at a time, on the treadmill.

That's enough. I'll see how this goes.
