Introduction Text It's 1.1.19 and I'm making a commitment to lose the weight, again. I'm heavier and less fit than ever and need to make a change just to continue working and hiking. My sugar addition is slowly killing me, therefor I'm starting by giving up sugar, again. Today, 1.1.18 I am starting over again. My first mission is to eliminate sugar. That takes away most of my favorite goodies and forces me to eat healthier things. In 2017 I continued to eat too much junk....I gained back all that I lost in 2016 and 5 more. In 2016 I lost 40 pounds by 9.1.16. Then I celebrated with some of the goodies that I hadn't had for eight months. I tried to stop but kept on eating those goodies. I gained back so much that my total for the year was just 23.5 pounds. January 1, 2016 I started making the effort to lose weight again! I am staying away from sugar and flour almost completely. That eliminates most of the things that I love to pig out on and forces me to eat much healthier. It seems that as soon as I stopped having sugar and flour I stopped having the insatiable cravings for cookies, candy, ice cream My hubby got me a Fitbit for Christmas 2015. It is motivating me to walk more everyday. I am determined to beat my step goal everyday! In 2016 I will weigh in EVERY Wednesday. I will try to lose every week. It's OK when I don't! I am enjoying hiking most Weekends with my hubby. We are doing about 2- 8 miles each time. We have explored some amazing places! I have a chronic bladder condition that sometimes limits my activities. I will not let it stop me! Veggies have become a much bigger part of my diet and hubby, who does most of our cooking, is on board with this change. He has perfected a yummy garlicky veggie mix that we have most nights with dinner and I have in my lunch the next day. Now I am mixing them in with scrambled eggs too.

I want to be healthy and fit! I want to be under 200 this year, 2019.

I'm starting 2019 by staying away from sugar. I must learn to eat healthier and make permanent changes to my diet. I will also walk, hike, climb stairs, stretch, get stronger.

I am 58, happily married to Tom. We live in Tacoma WA. I manage a distribution center in Kent. We raised 5 terrific (most of the time) kids. Now we are enjoying the freedom of them being grown up. I like to explore, hike, garden and travel. There are many wonderful hiking trails not far from my home in Tacoma that I visit often. Tom and I have gone hiking at least once a week for over eight years now. However, we are doing eaiser one than I would like due to my lack of fitness.
