FITGIT – Fighting back at 50+

Since the pandemic I have lost 40 pounds in weight. This is the story of how I set about getting fit and thin.Steps taken are set down here to support and encourage others of my ilk. 

We, the boomer generation, are paying the price for the hedonism of our youth. I have friends suffering from cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Many more of us cannot move easily, to catch a train or bound upstairs. Clinical obesity dogs us. 

This book provides no easy hack or magic bullet. Each chapter in this small book is a step taken, a single habit developed. It’s tempting to read books like this and say, ‘Well, circumstances are different for me,’ or ‘I can never do that.’ Faced with a new set of ideas, it’s second nature to put up barriers, to say: we’re comfortable where we are. Give yourself permission to reject the easy excuse, to say yes. 

Nothing that follows is complicated. I wish you well.
