Beginnings

I just added this blog. I don't know why. It's not like I have a ton of time to be doing this and it's not like I am the most prolific writer with a ton to say. However, I find myself at this time of my life suddenly giving a shit about my health. It's dawned on me in my 43rd year that I can no longer take my body for granted. It's not quite as forgiving as it was when I was in my 20's and 30's.

Hangovers are a week long rather than a day; I can no longer 'jump' out of bed in the morning for fear that I will land flat on my face due to mysterious aches and pains that have suddenly appeared...I swear I woke up with them on my 40th birthday..wtf??

Anyway, I think I'm going to use this blog to keep me honest. If I publish what I have or have not been doing then hopefully my innate fear of looking like a twit will keep me on track.

I make it sound like I'm a newbie to this fitness thing but in reality I'm not. I've been running regularly for a year now and just completed my first half marathon. I'm an avid pole dancer much to my husband's delight and I will chronicle some of those pretty humorous sessions on this blog as well.

I hope that a few of you will find this blog relatable and will follow along to offer advice and encouragement. I promise to share whatever works and what doesn't and maybe we'll actually find that magic bullet one day (yeah right!)
