Getting and Staying Healthy After Fifty

Sundays are my self-designated day off. I didn’t do much, played online, ate soup, gave away some plants, ate soup, read, ate soup. I must admit, it tasted better today than yesterday. Why is it soup just gets better and better? Except for after day three, then it just gets boring.

I love vegetable soup, but two days of it is enough now. I’m ready for some juicing. Tomorrow, I’m going to the produce store and get lots of veggies to juice. I’ll be drinking juice all day, and having a salad at night. I want to get 10 more lbs. off by Christmas.

I’ll also be starting a really serious exercise program, walking 2-3 miles a day plus working out with stretch bands and weights. My walk to the store will be my first workout, because it’s a little over a mile one way, so over 2 round trip.

I know I’ll never look like I did 20 years ago, or even 11 years ago when I moved here, but I want to look better than this.
