Keeping it real and stepping outside my comfort zone.
This is Day 1 of me putting myself out there and being honest about what a sedentary lifestyle can do.
I’ve gained weight. I’ve gotten lazy. I’ve developed some bad habits. And truthfully, I quit doing anything about it. It’s not that I stopped caring — I just stopped trying to change the state of mind and body I had allowed myself to settle into.
On June 22, 2026, I decided to do something about it.
I decided to start taking my life back.
I keep thinking, if I don’t move my body now at 63, I may not be able to move it the way I want to at 83. I don’t want to become immobile. I don’t want to look back and wish I had started sooner.
So here I am saying it out loud:
Get up, CARON, and MOVE!
The first thing on my list? I joined a gym.
If you’re in my area and want to join me, I’d love the company, the motivation, or even just someone working toward the same kind of goals. We don’t have to be perfect. We just have to start.
Now I’m working on changing the habits that got me here. My goals are simple: pay closer attention to what I eat, get more steps in, stay active, and stop sitting around letting the days pass me by.
I want to be more intentional with my time, my health, my mindset, and how I take care of myself.
Life is a gift, and every day is part of that gift. I’ve spent too much time taking it for granted.
For me, it starts with mindset. If I can change the way I think, I believe everything else will start falling into place.
This is Day 1 of taking my life back.
Follow along and see where this journey takes me.
