I'm Josie,
Mom, daughter, sister, friend, business owner, and sugar addicted stress eater..
I was 38 when I got pregnant with my daughter. The same week I got pregnant I had a skiing accident which led to a total ACL reconstruction of my left knee. The rigorous exercise program and healthy eating habits that I had followed for ten years was put on hold. In the years that followed, my fairy tale life of love, marriage, family, health and fitness, began to unravel around me. With that, I became a stress eater and sugar my culprit.

Fast forward … My daughter is 14 and I am 80 pounds over weight, I have tried every diet including the “Raw” diet without success. Today I am challenging myself to change; change my eating habits, change the way I feel about myself, CHANGE.... I will be blogging daily, starting with today, my 53rd birthday. I will share with you my challenges, some solutions I come up with, photos, recipes and each success. It is my hope and desire to make a difference in my life as well as the lives of everyone that visits me here. Thank you for supporting me. I am now publicly accountable to myself and each of my readers. Come back often to read and see how I evolve. My goal for this year is weight loss and wellness. My diet is simple, whole foods and nothing artificial! I am using experience, logic and you to keep me going.

A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step. – Lao Tzu

Adding Exercise Day 27

Ok, yes… I have every intention to add exercise today… After I finish editing a job I need to get in the mail by noon and before my 2:30 portrait session.. Yes, I have every intention of adding exercise today and I will post it as soon as I do. 🙂

My big success to tell you about right now is that last night my daughter wanted to make brownies. I helped her make them and while my family thought they were helping me by reminding me that I couldn’t have any, I had already eyed and picked out which large juicy orange I was going to have while they indulged in the brownies. I wasn’t tempted in the least. Another sweet successful day.
