Introduction Text I am a 48 year old mother facing some life changes, namely I am soon to be an empty nester when my baby graduates from high school in a few months. It is now time for me. If I don't make changes now then when will I? So many people around me are on diets. I don't want to diet. I want to live a healthier more active lifestyle. I want to enjoy my fifties and not be plagued with health issues which I've mostly avoided so far despite my weight. Now is the time for me! 2016 Summer 5% Challenge Exercise Commitment: Walk 5 days a week (minimum 1.5 miles or 30 minutes) and do strength training 3 times a week. Experiment and try a few new exercises too, ie Yoga. My Diet Commitment: I'm not following any specific Diet. I want this to be a lifestyle change. -- More Water... No Soda. Make smarter Food choices. Eat Mindfully not Mindlessly.
