A few years back, I decided to skip with New Year's Resolutions. I find they put so much pressure on me. Instead I go with re-committing myself to a healthy and positive lifestyle. Here's what I wrote about it last year:

Having just moved to a new area, I was worried if I would find new running buddies. Fortunately I met one new person so far who is going to be my workout buddy at the Y. I shared my latest story on my blog at:

I found once I become serious about losing weight, exercising, and living healthy it was important to find like-minded people. Have you found the same during your journey? I'd love ...

One of the things I wanted to do when I lost weight was go ice skating. I finally did it last year and wrote about it on my blog:

What is on your list to do when you lose weight? What have you done? I'd love to hear about it!

The Thanksgiving before I had gastric sleeve surgery, I ran m first 5K. It wasn't pretty, but I did it! Every year I run one and while they aren't as physically as hard, they can be mentally hard. Here's my latest story about this year's Turkey Trot

Anyone else start running after surgery? I'd love to hear your stories!

Take care,

Staying healthy during big changes is hard, isn' t it? My family just moved from California to Washington and I must admit I've let my healthy lifestyle slide. I'm getting back to a routine, thank goodness. That includes writing on my blog again at www.downthescale.com

Looking forward to living healthy again...especially with the holidays approaching!
