And they're off!

Well I promised myself that this year I would stop making excuses and start living my life to the fullest.  The first step was to retire from my career as a radio producer at CBC.  I know there will be work in my future, but just for now my focus is on me.  I have to get in shape physically and mentally.  Both my mind and my body need a lot of attention.  My journey started two weeks ago.  I didn't set any goals except to get some rest.  Now that I have accomplished that it's time to start to set some goals.

First goal to weigh myself in.  Not an easy task, I have been avoiding scales for over a year.  Well the number wasn't pretty.  I weighed in at a whopping 208lbs.  That's more than I've ever weighed in my life.  Well nothing I can do about how I got there than to start changing some very bad habits. The first, I need regular exercise.  The second I need to eat properly, and less calories than I burn in a day.  And so my journey begins.  

For anyone following my blog along with me, I plan to only talk about my weight on Monday's when I weigh myself.  The rest of the time I will devote my blog to my work with my horses, my art work, my horse jump creations and my garden.  Feel free to follow along if you please.
