Week 1

 I'll start at the beginning.  I woke up on my 47th Birthday.  For many reasons, I considered myself ahead of the game in that moment and came up with a marvelous idea. (to me anyway)  I have decided that year 47 is going to be pivotal for me.  I've played the diet game my whole life and I've won... then lost... then won... if you've played the game, you know what I mean.  It's always been some huge race for me, big pressure, counting this, measuring that, doing this much and that much... well, again, if you've played the game, you know.  For the first time in my life, I see a ribbon stretching before me.  All of the years I have in front of me and for me, the big question is, how do I want to feel?  Do I want to feel good or bad?  That's the bottom line.  I've decided that I want... hell, I deserve to feel good.  So that's what this year is about.

I decided to start a blog because, although I've never been a diary keeper, I do want a diary of this year.  I want to keep track of all the changes and the feelings, challenges and victories that occur with them.  

My scheme is simple.  Once a week, for one week, I will make a change in my life that I feel will result in me feeling better in some way.  Each week, I'll announce the change for that week.  I'll discuss the prior week's change, how successful it was, if it made me feel good, how difficult it was and if I want to make it a permanent change.  Easy peasy, right?  We will see. lol  Okay, now on to week one!

Week one, the change I'm making is to add fruits and/or veggies to every single meal. This report will be brief because it's the first one.  My hope is that by week 52, my report will be very long and very full of feeling good!
