She's Getting Fit ... AGAIN

It's just about 2020 and almost 16 months since my last post.

Merry Christmas!  and Happy New Year! (and New ME)

A lot has happened.  My son moved out of the house.  New job.  I turned 50.  Those are the major highlights.  To sum up the past year+ would be impractical and would sound like I'm making excuses to why I stopped blogging and why I landed back. in. the. fat. seat. 

Moving forward, that's what it's about....2020 is going to be all about becoming a healthier me.  I've set some goals to work on.  Here's the short list:

1. Lose weight.  AGAIN.  Optimally and realistically I'd like to lose 25 lbs.  If I'm dreaming big, I really think 30 is a better goal, but 25 is more manageable for me.
2. De-Stress.   I'm not sure how to measure that, but I do have a relatively solid game plan in place.   The trick will be seeing if the plan results in actual outcomes.
3. Deadlifts:  10 reps at 200 lbs.
4. Pull-ups:  10 reps (unassisted)

Middle age and stress have wrecked havoc on my hormones.  I've decided to reset my nutrition to help bring balance to my hormones.

I've been reluctant to write, to come back to the blog.  To be honest, having fallen off the wagon, I haven't been able to figure out how to get back on it.  My weight has been on a gradual increase and my efforts to address it have failed.   Stress and age have brought with them more aches and pains.   Already I feel like I'm whining and making excuses for being where I am and that's not what I want to write about.

Slowly working my way back to my goal... Here's 165 lbs. for six reps.

When I first started Tracey's Getting Fit in 2015, it served as a tool for me on my journey towards losing weight and getting fit.  I used it as a way to reflect on what worked and what didn't.  It held me accountable to myself and to my readers.  But somewhere along the line, I think I felt like I couldn't measure up to myself and my expectations and I just let it go.

I'm resurrecting the blog to serve as a way for me to track my successes AND failures as I endeavor to become a healthier, new me.  AGAIN.  I'm okay with putting it out there, although with my new job, I've decided to have my name less in the focus.  So instead of "Tracey's Getting Fit," I've renamed the blog "Getting Fit...AGAIN."

I'll probably write more often, with shorter posts and more frequent check-ins.  I hope you'll share the journey with me.

You better watch out, 2020, I'm coming after you!

So raise your glass if you are wrong

In all the right ways, all my underdogs

We will never be, never be anything but loud

And nitty, gritty, dirty little freaks

Won't you come on and come on and 

Raise your glass?
