Today is really the first day of the rest of my life.  I am now ready for a healthy life.  It took about 20 years to get to this point in my life and I am hoping it will take only 20 monthes to get back to being healthy.  I know that I will never be able to turn back the clock to my younger days but I sure can take my 20/20 hindsight to look ahead to a better life. 

I am so sick of all the diet and nutritional information that contradicts each other.  Dieting I feel means I have to deny myself foods.  Nutritional information means I will feel guilty about denying myself some of these foods.  Nothing is the same or consistent.  I have learned that consistencey is the key to most things in life for success at anything.  If you are consistently going to work and consistently working at your best, your job will be a success.  If you are consistent with your children you will have successfully raised your children to be good in society.  It is with consistency that I reach for the bag of chips or sweets to enjoy the flavour they bring to me, the pleasure.  It will be with consistency that I will blog everyday to take responsiblity of my actions and than hopefully feel better about making the right actions. 

I need to be accountable for my actions and in so doing this I will blog about my actions. 
Diets don't work. Exercise alone does not work.  Accountablity works.  Having to be honest with yourself is one of the hardest things to do. I find I will make excuses for myself.  I am not like anorexics because instead of seeing myself as fat or overweight I see myself as having curves and not looking TOO bad. I still don't look healthy.  Worse than that I have a hard time moving.  My knees hurt, my hands hurt, and my cardio abililty sucks.

I will be mentioning different products that I will be using but by no means am I endorsing these products. It is only telling my story with what I am using and what works for me and not necessarily for you.
