Hey [candy]! Don't come around here no more... (Tom Petty)We're busy getting ready for our trip to Boston & NYC. Since we won't be home this Halloween, there's no reason to buy candy or pumpkins either. It's a bit strange, but overall it feels great! A sense of freedom, I guess.
Now that I'm on the precipice of reaching the original goal of this blog -- to be fit by my 50th birthday, it seems it may be time to wrap things up. Still thinking about what this means for this little ol' blog.
Thank you for all the times you left encouraging comments along the way as the weight came off half pound by half pound. And, for continuing to be interested and supportive once I met my goals. I hope my example has been helpful in some way. Yes, you can change your fitness level and reach your happy or ideal weight by eating healthy foods and by doing some exercise that you actually like. You don't have to eat perfectly and you don't have to be a prisoner chained to a treadmill. And, maybe even more important, once you reach your goal it is not hard at all to maintain. Really.
I did this and so can you. Do it your way & keep going.

How exciting, to be close to reaching that goal of fitness - & what a great affirmation, that we can shift toward more fit, more healthy, more energy, by eating better & finding exercise we enjoy!
It's always part of my goal as a msg. therapist to inspire people to move in that direction - & I admire your example!
Good luck in whatever's 'next!'
Lee,
Just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed visiting here. I haven't commented before but have supported you all the way (from Peru).
Well done!!
When good things come to an end, it's usually sad. NOT in this case, however.
Have a wonderful Halloween.
I hope this doesn't mean you'll stop posting on your blog!
I hope that you'll pop in here now and then to tell us how it's going with you.
"And, maybe even more important, once you reach your goal it is not hard at all to maintain. Really."
I needed to hear this. Sometimes it seems like it's always going to be WORK.
Enjoy your candy free trip to Boston & NY!
Please keep posting! :D
I love the Dixie Chicks!
Please don't abandon us!
You'll be missed but I'm so happy for you reaching your goals and wish you every happiness from here on out.
Happy trails to you for your trip & big congrats on the goal reaching! I am sure you will find another! You can still pop in & let us know what is up!!!!!
I know, doing blogs is time consuming & I am doing some evaluating myself about mine but just not sure yet. Told myself to figure it out by year end!
ENJOY!
What will you do with the words inside your head?
Great song choice. And big huge milestone - no Halloween candy purchase.
I was late in finding your blog and have enjoyed it so much. As I get nearer to achieving my goals, it is so encouraging to read what you say.
Thanks and good luck with whatever you do next!
Fabulous!!!!
Definitely a Dixie Chick fan here in Florida!
Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday Lee! And thanks for all of the encouragement and inspiring posts all the past year. Wishing you lots and lots of happy skinny years!
Lee, congratulations on reaching your goal. I've enjoyed your blog in these short few months since I found it, and I hope this isn't really a goodbye, though it sure sounds like it. (And knowing how much time it takes to blog, I can't blame you.) Thanks for leaving us with the Dixie Chicks -- it's perfect.
Awesome song!! I love the DC!!
