Another year older, another year fitter

So, I'm turning 35 today. Eeeep! Feels so old. I almost don't feel like celebrating--I know I can't stop the inevitable, but I sure don't have to acknowledge it! 

Looking back on the past year, I can be happy about a few things. I didn't lose as much weight as I wanted to (I've lost about 5 pounds), but as I mentioned, I have gotten smaller, and I am definitely, in a fitness sense, in a better place. 

Maybe it's because my birthday kind of coincides with the new year, but I always make birthday resolutions. I've resolved for this next year to seek help when I need it--in all aspects of life. When talking about weight loss, I think I might benefit from a supervised weight loss program that my gym offers, so I've signed myself up. At this point, I'm going to the gym at least 5 days a week, but I suspect I'm consuming more calories than a thinner me would need. So, I'm going to a program that includes food journaling and supervised group journal discussions. 

I resolve to try and make the best of it.
