I've been kicking around the idea of a blog leading up to my 50th birthday (January, 2015), my son told me about this DietBet site, I checked it out and here I am. Blog, diet and fitness challenge all in one! 

I've watched Extreme Weight Loss and was especially inspired by Brandi's completion of a half Ironman. I am a regular exerciser, pretty fit, have done a sprint triathlon several years ago and would LOVE to do a half the year I turn 50! If she can do it, I can do it too.

This is the kick start for me. No more excuses, going to conquer the little voice in my head that says to quit, you can't......you may hear it too. I tried to talk my self out of starting this challenge....vacation in a week, week long business trip after that, but you know what? That's life, there's always something! So here I go....let's all do something incredible together!
