The Plan, The Diet, The Hopes

I'm a subscriber to More magazine (http://www.more.com/), the only publication I've found thus far targeted to women over 40 who have more to worry about than the next "It" bag, "It" girl or how the latest secrets to "Best Sex Ever" -- although More certainly provides sound fashion advice and pointers for success in the bedroom.

Earlier this year, More ran a profile on Lyn Genet Recitas ( http://www.more.com/weight-loss-diet-recitas) who developed "The Plan" for nutrition and weight loss.  Frustrated with the stubborn creep of pounds and my inability to lose them, I signed up for a consult with Lyn Genet. Today, The Plan gets underway.

So, for the next few weeks, much of my blog content will be dedicated to updates re: my success on and with The Plan. Fingers crossed that I get to reclaim my slimmer self while still enjoying my much-needed vino and dark chocolate (Lyn Genet said potato chips are better than rice cakes and to pick chocolate over dates! I love this woman!)

Otherwise, all is well in my part of town. College application deadlines loom for my two high school seniors, my oldest has had some recent academic and personal successes, and my little dude continues to entertain me. The Mr. is good but struggling with issues related to work and kids, and my Ex has found yet another way to make my head spin. So it goes....

Until next time, choose happy.
