Mid-Life Crisis or Holiday Bulge

Yes, I'm feeling the need for a makeover. Not just my hair, but a total body thing. I don't want to look my age. I want to look the way I feel. And I don't feel as old as the person I see in the mirror.

I want the gray hair to go away, but it won't because I'm allergic to hair dye. I want my hair stylish without me having to spend hours and multiple products on it. I want to be thinner and not have to cut out Dove chocolate and potato chips. I want to look in a mirror and not see a round face on a turkey neck. I want to be comfortable in size 12 clothes not snug in size 14.

So to get my body back in control, I'm starting a morning walking regime and I'm getting back to better eating habits. My objective is to be comfortable in size 12 clothes in four months, yep, May 12th, my 30th anniversary, I will be fit and wearing the same size I wore at my wedding.

I don't like to weight myself because I am a heavy boned person. You might laugh, but whenever I tell people my weight they tell me I'm kidding, there's no way I weigh that much. So I don't weigh, I go by my clothes. For this makeover, I'm going to post how many miles each week I walk and I'm going to pick a pair of pants that I can't get into and use them as my gauge for results. I will try them on once a month.

You are my conscience. So if I slack off, let me know it. And if anyone wants to join my quest, I'd love to have you walk with me.
