Sing with me: "Regrets, I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention." Worth mentioning is that I spent two decades of my younger adult life 50+ pounds overweight. That is regrettable. I'm still overweight, but weekly weight loss meetings have helped me drop three pant sizes and improved my health, which is more vital than ever.

Healthy eating goals, now front and center, have seen me through a knee replacement and rehab without regaining. I accepted an invitation from my son to a Mariners game, on an otherwise busy day. Thirty pounds and one bum knee ago, I might have said no to that stadium walk. Not now.The guards scanned my metal knee and in I went, up and up. Having the energy and attitude to keep cool and keep up was crucial to a great day complete with a hot dog and frozen yogurt! As I have learned, the need to be a fit mother doesn't end when school activities are done. Our three young adults are on the move through life. I want to keep on, keeping up, with no more regrets.
