A year and a half ago I signed on here, impressed by the range of support and inspired by the progress so many members have made. My own fitness plan got off track due to a knee injury that took months to recover from. Now I'm almost good as new, but frustrated at being back where I started.
I'm back because I've decided to commit to getting fit by my 50th birthday, which is still (thankfully) two and a half years away. I would like to plan some sort of adventure to celebrate - something like a walking tour of Ireland, Scotland, or the Lake Country really appeals to me.
My biggest challenge now is finding a plan I can stick to - I'm convinced that "dieting" has helped me put on this weight, and so I am aiming for portion control, avoiding bread for now, and eating more veggies. I also try to stay away from processed foods of all kinds, and I think artificial sweeteners are the work of the
(just my opinion, folks).
I hope I can contribute some words of support, but I will likely pretend that I don't need anyone's help
I do have one question to ask, though -- does anyone know how many calories a hot flash burns?
