Lately I've been noticing something. Guys check me out when I'm driving. They don't do it when I'm out walking or when I'm at the store, it's only in the car.

And we all know where this is going, don't we? We know why it would only happen in the car, right?

So it hits me. I've only got so many more good years in me. It's nearly impossible to be a hot 60 year old. I'm 32 and from the neck up I'm still fairly presentable. I don't want to wait until I'm fifty to decide to take care of myself and look good, dammit! So here we go again...but it feels different somehow this time. I'm not depriving myself of anything, just being more aware of the things I eat and how much. Taking walks even when I don't really feel like it. And no, I'm not striving for "hot" per se, I just want to look good again.

I know this has been causing a lot of my problems lately. Eating the starchy, sugary foods..not getting enough exercise..feeling badly about myself. It's a cycle that makes me more irritable to my family, more pessimistic about myself and my life. And that's crazy because there are no do overs! I don't get another chance to be happy.

And I already feel sooo much better, just a week into making these changes. Yay!
