The clock has ticked over and I’m now half a century old!!!!!!!! Wow, I actually did it lol

I’ve seen lots of changes in 50 years, some of them good, some bad, but one of the best changes was deciding to improve my appearance and personal fitness level. Lost 42 pounds in under 8 months and have improved my health a hundredfold.  I have energy now that I haven’t had since I was 16. I almost feel invisible. Weight training has also really increased my self esteem. Reaching my short term goals in this sport has really shown me that if I can do this I can do anything no matter how hard it seems. With perseverance, patience, and hard work we can all reach our goals.

I intend to keep weightlifting and eating clean and by the time I’m 60 you young chicks better watch out! hehe

I was going to log it all in the blog but it takes up too much room so it will be here:

It’s entitled NotTooLate’s *Goin’ for a 2 pak* lol
Hopefully I’ll find some abs in there somewhere

I can barely see some abs as of January 9th

Not bad so far

I’m totally stoked about my progress this last year. I know I don’t look like a beauty queen and I’m still going to be 50 in two weeks but I have made a lot of great progress that I am so proud of. I stuck to my nutrition plan through the holidays and lost weight! Today I weighed in at 125! I haven’t weighed that much since I was in my 20s and before I had any kids. Wow I still can’t believe how eating more (of the right foods) decreases fat. I am so happy. I feel 20 again haha

I think I’ve put on quite a bit of muscle in the last 7 months and even though I found out that my testosterone levels were at 2.5, on a scale of 0.5-7.5 normal for women, I must have some way to overcome a shortfall in this area. I am pretty happy about this. Still on my way to becoming a Amazonian champion lol

If ever I have done anything right in my life it’s this. I’ve always sucked at sports but this is one thing I seem to do pretty well at because I am competing only against my own mind. I look forward to more of this in 2008.

My birthday is in two weeks. One of my goals was to look pretty good for my birthday. I think I’ve done ok and am happy.
