Realization & Acceptance

It is surreal for me, I am turning 50 in about nine months! This day is approaching faster than I anticipated.  

During my internal process of this realization, a question keeps pounding in my mind.  What experiences do I want to gain from my next decade?  Thinking in faith that I will live another decade since tomorrow is not promised.  That’s when it came to my mind and heart, to lose at least 50 pounds by my 50th birthday.

The image above spoke deeply to me.  I did not gain all this extra weight overnight!  I need to be patient with myself.  I have come to accept that with time I can lose the extra weight in a healthy way to keep it off.   In this journey, I have now my son Jonathan’s full support because he is taking on this journey too.  He has made a decision to lose 30 for 30 by April 30th.  I challenge you to join me in either making your own healthy decision for you by your next birthday or by sharing encouraging words of wisdom.   I look forward to connecting with you.
