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

When Life Presents Challenges: Day 88

Thu. February 9, 2012 7:25 am

I’ve been distracted the last few days with caring for my elderly mom who has been sick for 6 days and my uncle passing away. Real life challenges! I was wavering over the weekend and caught my footing again.

Two weeks ago, someone contacted me from a fitness company with studios in NYC, the Hampton’s, and LA. They sent me 3 work out videos which arrived yesterday. I’m so excited to work them into my CIN commitment. I’ll let you know all about it! 🙂

I’ve got a few appointments this morning…. more later.
