Turning Over a New Leaf...AGAIN!

Okay, so I can't even begin to calculate the number of times I've told myself that I'm going to start eating healthy!  Things go well for a few days and I actually make progress, but inevitably, something trips me up or throws me off track and only divine intervention can get me back on track.  Part of the reason I set up this blog was so that I could be accountable for making healthier lifestyle choices...for all the world (or whoever checks out this blog!) to see.  Once again, I've got a plan to eat lean protein and mostly veggies, hoping to lose 60 pounds once and for all.  I don't want my daughter to see me yo-yo the way I have for her entire life thus far, I want her to see a healthy, fit mom with fitness goals and a positive self-image.  The LAST thing I want to pass along to her is a self-deprecating demeanor towards herself.  She's so perfect in every way and I love nothing more than seeing her NOT give a rat's arse about how she looks doing something.  She revels in the things her body can do and the pure enjoyment of doing those things.  These days those "things" are mostly dancing and twirling about from place to place!  So, I too would like to feel joyful for the things my body can do, both now and in the future.  Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for having the ability to work out the way I do and be in good health, I just hope to add a layer of consistency to the whole thing since that's where I typically fall short.

So tomorrow (of course) is a New Day...THE New Day that will mark my taking responsibility of my health and BEING the change I want to see in my life.  I know that I CAN do this, the question is WILL I do this?!  I am the one who got myself to this place, and I am the only one who can carry myself out of this place...who's with me?!  I am woman, hear me roar......meow!
