The Journey To Health... The beginning

In the beginning, there was man....  Just kidding!  I wanted to jot down what I'm doing to get started on this journey to health and wealth.  It all starts with health.  After all, what good is anything else without it!  

There are a few things that I must discuss to get ready and I believe they are very important.  I want this journey to be "it."  I don't want to do start this journey like the ones I've done before where I lost weight, felt good and then gain back the weight again because I went back to my old routine.  I want this to be the final change and then keep it off for the rest of my life!

First off, let me just describe myself.  I'm 44 years old - 45 in late July - and I have always gone up and down on my weight.  I am fairly athletic - always have been.  However, I've also been a very good cook and love to eat what I cook.  I have never been really lean, but have been in good shape.  I'm on the stocky side.  They call my body type endomorph, which to me means the type of body that has a hard time losing weight, but gains weight easily.
