Janet Jackson- Control

Sitting here typing and watching the television show "Finding Your Roots".  I'm becoming enthralled with ancestors that have come before me.  We found out a few days ago that my dad's Aunt Fannie passed away in February at the age of 102 years, 8 months.  Closer relatives said that her mind was there to the end and that her body decided it was time to move on.  That's pretty good.  I'm trying to lose weight and get into shape so my body won't fail early!  While I don't embrace the idea of making it that long I certainly don't want to disembark prematurely.   As I continue to work on my genealogy I'm finding certain lines that have longevity and others...not so much.  While everyone rolls the dice, I'm trying to load mine with good eating habits and a healthy exercise regime.  To date, I've lost ten pounds in a four week period.  Eating green stuff topped with red stuff and more green stuff lightly doused with good ole' ranch dressing-light!  The exercise portion of this journey is the key to reducing at a quicker rate than most. So, I made my first weight goal of losing ten pounds in a month-one week early.  Sweeeeet.
