Fitness Blog

This is my mostly weekly blog journaling my success and occasional failure as I find out how fit I can reasonably get at 57.

Frustrated with Myself

This week didn’t go as planned.  I don’t know why I am having such a hard time getting back on track.  I do know it isn’t about hunger.  I also still feel confident that my goals and...
