The Pursuit of a Healthy and Fit Life

I haven't posted in FOREVER... and to be honest, the scale shows it.  I haven't counted WW points in close to a year and my weekend eating has been atrocious.  Just sayin.  So, since January of this year, I have gone from 125 to as high as 138 and today I weighed in at 134.

That's upsetting to me, of course, and fitness and health is a life-long commitment, but that being said, I have come a LONG way from where I was back in 2004 when I first started really trying to pursue health.

At the risk of disgusting y'all, here is a “before” photo of my back from November of 2004.

And here is my back (at work) yesterday in the gym.  (My workout partner told me I needed to see what I look like working out. Ha!) 

So, while I'm not following a set eating program right now... I still strive to work out at least 5 days a week and I can say that my eating from Monday through Friday afternoon is usually great... it's the chips and salsa and pizza that are killing me on the weekends.

Life is about balance... and we all struggle to find the right balance.  We’re really not in this alone.

I’ll try to post a little more often.  In the meantime, let me know if you have any questions.

Keep on keepin' on!
