WE HAVE NOW PASSED the six months to 50 mark! This is the final countdown to my 50th birthday and my end goal of being perfectly fit and healthy when I turn 50. I can do this!
I spent some time getting super organized for the next six months of blogging. I’ll be posting according to this weekly schedule:
Saturdays — Bread baking & recipes
Sundays — Soup recipes
Wednesdays — Vegetable recipes
Thursdays — Fruit recipes
Fridays — Fitness reporting
And my hope is that some of you will jump on and report your fitness activities for each week in the comments section. Either way, you’ll hear about all I did (or didn’t) do for exercise every seven days.
I’ve already found 35 delicious soup recipes and I’ll make one every Soupy Sunday, just like we did early in the year. I’ve also bought Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day, the second book by Jeff Hertzberg and Zoe Francois. I don’t know about you, but months of fall and winter weekends filled with fresh-baked bread and homemade soup sound completely heavenly to me. I can’t wait to get started!
The Facebook page is still going strong — I hope you can recommend it to your friends!! I usually post links and share videos and recipes on the page. We also get photos posted from our friends on the page, along with links to the wall, which anyone can post at any time. I’m all about sharing ideas, information and recipes.
I’m also still going strong on Twitter (@14monthsto50), approaching 900 followers, which I know is total babydom in Twitworld, but for me it seems like a big deal. All I know is so much information passes over Twitter every day that I’m still astounded by it! I love it as an information-sharing source.
On the weight and fitness front: I’ve lost 17 lbs. since I started this blog in January. I want to lose at least 10 pounds more, and you know how that goes. When I get there, I’ll probably want to lose a few more. I’m so happy with my improved diet and health — this has truly been a lifestyle change and it is something I completely prefer. I wish I could make everyone eat the way I do!
I’ll be back here tomorrow with a veggie dish or two, some photos (if I can remember how my camera works) and we’ll kick this thing off!! See ya then. And thank you all so much for sticking with me through my hiatus — love ya!
No way! 900? That’s rocking. I have umm . . . 147. 😦
Yay! So glad you are back!
Thanks, guys! Good to see you! : )
I LOVE this!
I still have 26 months to 50..but it’s looming. Looking forward to spending some time poking around your blog!
