Time to get fit!</h2>
<p>There comes a time when you take a good hard look at yourself and decide its time for a change.</p>
<p>I did that last year and have been working ever since to be healthy, lose weight, and get fit. It hasn&#8217;t been an easy journey, and the journey isn&#8217;t over yet. But the benefits have been well worth the efforts undertaken.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be exploring and sharing what it takes to get fit when you&#8217;ve reached 50 years of age and above. No, we ain&#8217;t dead! No, we ain&#8217;t old! We&#8217;re on a journey to be feisty, fab and fit!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be talking clean eating, working out, dealing with health issues that affect women our age (think pre-menopause and achey joints for example), and how to stay motivated when the going gets rough and tough.</p>
<p>You can also follow along as I work my fitness and health plan. I&#8217;ll share what I&#8217;m going through, and you can chime in with your thoughts.</p>

However, I&#8217;ve been doing lots of walking! Now, this is a good thing, but its also a bit rough on my hip joints given the humidity here in South Florida. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Working out of town again, trying to balance my hormones, and major fatigue have prevented me from getting much done on the workout front. I&#8217;ve decided to create a very customized workout schedule, which will include tennis, walking, P90X, and The Firm. This should cover everything from strength training to cardio. I&#8217;ll also be taking [...]]]></description>

Time to get fit!</h2>
<p>There comes a time when you take a good hard look at yourself and decide its time for a change.</p>
<p>I did that last year and have been working ever since to be healthy, lose weight, and get fit. It hasn&#8217;t been an easy journey, and the journey isn&#8217;t over yet. But the benefits have been well worth the efforts undertaken.</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be exploring and sharing what it takes to get fit when you&#8217;ve reached 50 years of age and above. No, we ain&#8217;t dead! No, we ain&#8217;t old! We&#8217;re on a journey to be feisty, fab and fit!</p>
<p>I&#8217;ll be talking clean eating, working out, dealing with health issues that affect women our age (think pre-menopause and achey joints for example), and how to stay motivated when the going gets rough and tough.</p>
<p>You can also follow along as I work my fitness and health plan. I&#8217;ll share what I&#8217;m going through, and you can chime in with your thoughts.</p>
