Today has been a bit slow. Painted for two hours, and helped Steve vacuum the hallways. This afternoon I have to show an apartment, shop for a few groceries, and prepare a salad to take to Steve's sons for dinner. I'm not sure I remember what leisure time is! When I look at my exercise diary, and I have eleven and twelve hours of resting plus my eight hours of sleep, I wonder when that happened!! I must have been busy, and missed it!
Staying on track hasn't been difficult, eating at night has been a challenge! I have to keep my hands busy. I've actually, pulled out some old knitting books, and thought about doing that in the evenings. It would serve two purposes. First, keep my hands busy; second, get my Christmas list started!!
Ok, time for the apartment viewing. Check back in later this evening, if I'm not too busy resting!!

Six years ago, I started Atkins, and walking three days a week. Within a month, I was walking six days a week, had lost 12 pounds, and had significantly reduced my chronic pain. I did this on my own, with no support from family or friends! In just under a year, I had lost 66 pounds and had no chronic pain.
Four years ago I went through a terrible break up, and started menopause! I stopped everything! It has taken four years to get where I am; and in the past few months the chronic pain is back. It's time to get back on track, rebuild my health and fitness, and feel better about myself! I know all the things my family doctor tells me, about my physical and mental well-being are true, because I've been through it. I would like...no, I WANT to feel better, live longer, and be pain free!!
My turning point, I think, was my granddaugher, telling me how pretty all the clothes were in the plus size store I shop in, and when she's my age, she hopes they still have this store! I don't want her to grow up thinking she has to be a plus size person, because I am. I told her, the reason everything was so pretty, was so people would notice your clothes, more than your size!
Today, I am going to clean out my cupboards and refrigerator. Anything not open, goes to the food bank, everything else is going to the neighbors! I have dug out my Atkins books, and made a shopping list! Tomorrow morning is the beginning of a new way of thinking, believing, feeling. I will not remained seated, or keep my hands and feet inside the ride at all times!
