Tomorrow . . .

The title of this blog, INVISIBLE, is related to how I feel as a fat person. I will not excuse my girth, nor will I make excuses for my lack of enthusiasm for exercise. I have dieted in earnest for 25 years, and dabbled in dieting 10 years prior. Diets do not work for me, I have lost hundreds of pounds, only to regain them all back. I grooved to the tunes of the 80's while I wore leg warmers and head bands, I swam in the pool at college to the thumping of the original "Rocky" theme song. I tried jogging in the 70's, (before ipods) I hated it! My intent is to blog my progress as I make life-style changes, quit dieting, and flirt with the idea of regular exercise. I am tired of being invisible. I am tired, period. I also made a commitment to my family to run 3 legs of the Ragnar Rely race in June of 2010. I will not let them down. It is time to surface from the pool of invisibility and regain some control over my health and well being. Today is Sunday, September 19, 2010, I weigh 221.9 pounds. I am 56 years old. I am putting it out there, being invisible is no longer an option, and neither is waiting for tomorrow to start.
