Introduction Text There's a yurt in the Nantahala Gorge of North Carolina where we've spent three fall vacations learning to be an adventurous couple again. The boys are independent adults, one in a career teaching with a master's degree, the other set to graduate with a bachelor's in the spring. We have time now and we treat ourselves to fall again. Here on the coast of S.C. the days are mostly sunny and warm in the fall and a week of colorful, falling leaves with cooler temperatures in the mountains is a vibrant contrast to our everyday routine. We hike, we did some white water rafting....we inhaled and explored. It was glorious. It made every hour of working out and eating healthy worth it. Fitness isn't just reaching goals set on cyberspace, it's the key to moving independently through life doing the active things you enjoy. We saw lots of older people on our vacations....the fit ones were in the rafts and climbing rugged trails; the others were eating or slowly roaming the antique and art stores we visited. We need to eat and we love art, but I am so happy we are fighting the aging process and can keep doing the more adventurous activities we love.

Train to do the run the half marathon again in March 2016. Motivate my sons and husband to get fit and attain healthy weights. Become a certified shoe fitter, earn a certification from the National Strength and Conditioning Association for Special Populations. Do another mud run.

After losing 35 pounds with weight watches, switching careers from a desk job to a constantly in motion physical therapy assistant, I use Sparkpeople to maintain a healthier weight.

I live near a beach but vacation in the mountains. I'm ready to go hiking now. Is it fall yet?

Don't quit. Put yourself first and make yourself healthy. The rest of the universe will respect you for it..... after six months of working out almost everyday, I had lost three pounds. (That's last year's statement; this past year i gained seven while working out at more intense levels less frequently) That's gone after 30 days back a Spark people. Find something that works for you and stick to it. LOG your foods, drink your water. It'll work
