I'm back from our trip to Boston and NYC to celebrate turning fifty. It was wonderful! I saw things I'd never seen before such as the very old cemeteries in Boston, Beacon Hill all dressed up for Halloween and New York! Incredible!I've been thinking about this blog and what I should do with it. When I returned from our trip, I came down with the H1N1 flu. I had been expecting to jump back into my previous biking etc. life but instead got a thorough butt-kicking from the flu that had me spending a lot of time on the couch. Time to read & to think about what's next. And, here's what I'm going to do -- set some new goals, some of which I'll track here to help keep me accountable.
New goals
- Exercise first thing in the morning. I really need to establish this habit.
- Join an exercise class. I need and want to make new friends with women around my age who are active.
- Spend less time on line and more time out in the community. Less tweeting and reading blogs and more volunteering.
- Keep up goal of 50 to 80 miles a week biking.
- Learn something new that's creative.

So sorry you had the "hamthrax". Glad to have you back!
Hi Lee,
Sorry you were sick. And it's too bad I didn't get to meet you -- I'm not too far from Boston. But it was good to see another post from you, and keep on going with your goals. I figure goals are always a good thing to have, even if we might not achieve them. Without them, we're nothing.
Roxie - "hamthrax" lol!
Kathy - I'm a true believer in the power of goals. I would have loved to meet you in person. We may go back to New England next fall. Spend more time in the rural areas. I haven't been commenting but I read your blog everyday -- good work!
Welcome back & happy belated bday. I turned 52 on 11/15 so you joined me in the 50's!
SO SORRY about that flu!!!! YIKES! Glad you are better.
I love your new goals. I have also been thinking about whether I am spending too much time with the computer.... I have not made any decisions yet though.
Will look forward to hearing more!
I'm so happy to hear from you again! Sorry that you were ill, but well done for taking the time to work out some goals. Good luck!
great goals!! hope you can keep on track, and do the best you can!! i love the commitment to more "community" time :)
Your goals sound a lot like my goals. :o)
Good luck! And I like your blog.

I grew up in Boston, and you're right, there are some amazing cemetaries there. Welcome back!
weight loss
Good luck with your goals.
I was reading in a book (I wish I recalled the title...) that one should strive to exercise early in the morning as it is better for your biorhythms.
Best,

Hi Lee,
I read through your post and I understand how it’s important to think of new obtainable goals. I work in a Health Club that provides on-line programs that I feel will help you reach your goals. I would like offer you the on-line program for free and ask you to write about the experience, if you are compelled to, in your blog, whether you have a good experience or not.
The program is meant to encourage and motivate people, just as you do by writing in your blog. The program is called Habit Changer and it works by systematically changing the way you think, feel, and act around food, allowing you to form new weight loss habits. It is a 42-day program that features daily support, ideas, and inspiration through emails, text messages, and a web site (text messaging is optional).
Feel free to contact me at joseph.delacruz@clubone.com with any questions or feedback. I wish you continued success in changing your habits and reaching your goals.
