Fall has Arrived.



I woke up this morning to a crispness in the air that means that fall has arrived. The beginning of a new season always make me feel like I have a new opportunity, to start something new or just revisit, review, and re-adjust my habits. One thing that we all seem to want to re-adjust is our fitness level. A fellow blogger is offering a fitness challenge that will last through the Holidays, so I am going to join in for support and also the commitment. Does anyone else feel more inclined to complete something, anything, when a commitment is made to another? Yes, I agree; it seems to be human nature. Would anyone else care to join me? Here is the link so that you can read about it. http://www.thedomesticpagan.com/

So, now, here goes. My goals for
this challenge are to continue to participate in the Zumba class that I started two weeks ago and to reduce my weight by 15 pounds. The plan is to increase the number of classes I take weekly so that by the end of the challenge (December), I will be participating 3 times a week. The way I plan to loose the weight is to return to the "clean" way I was eating prior to vacation. That means reducing and finally eliminating white flour, sugar, refined and processed foods. It is a balanced eating program, with fruits, vegetables and proteins in sensible portions. Wish me success as I wish you success.
