Time to MOVE!
 

Hey there!

I'm a 40-year-old gal in Chicago. I've always been maybe 20-30 lbs overweight my entire life, gaining and losing the same 15 lbs, but it's been "manageable" (i.e. easily ignored) until recently. I'm officially the most I've weighed in years and ughghhghgh, I hate how I feel.

I could just lose 10 lbs and call it good-enough, but I'm realizing I have a couple of larger problems to contend with:

1. I'm turning into a workaholic, and I've fallen into a pit of not being able to make myself enough of a priority to eat well or work out regularly.

2. I don't want to turn into my mom! My mother's a great woman, but she's massively unhealthy, and has just had a double bypass at the early age of 65. I don't want to go down that same road.

So my goals are to learn to make myself a priority and to get movin'! And, obviously, to lose a bit of weight. :D

I have no diet plans as of yet! My joining this community was literally the first thing I've done. I look forward to joining the journey with y'all!
