Day One... almost done

Why is it so hard to shed the pounds with each year older we get?

So I turned 61 last April and am looking at 62 in a few months. Over the past decade an additional 10 pounds has creeped into my life. Last winter I fell while skiing and injured my shoulder. Now, almost a year later, the injury has created havoc with my workout routine. As a result I feel bloated and totally discouraged with my weight. But I am determined to lose 20 pounds by my birthday on April 6th. So here's what I'm doing... Today was day one of the flat belly diet. Getting through the 4 day anti-bloat part is the hardest. It's 6:15 p.m. and I just had the meager dinner that is allowed. Now I'm off to the gym because a shoulder injury really is not excuse for not doing cardio, right? Anyway I'm going to keep track of progress and setbacks through this blog. Would love comments...
