Well, I don't believe in New Year's resolutions, but I have a few things I'd like to accomplish. 1. Come up with some exercise routine, time seems to slip away from me (even retired) and I usually end up sitting down at night looking over my meals for the day and realizing I didn't exercise. I'd do it first thing in the morning, but the Mother and hubby sleep late. I try when they wake, but the dog/cat don't leave me alone. If I'm on the floor - apparently it's play time. We have a gym as part of the community, but I'm still too inhibited and think people will stare at the fat girl trying to exercise. Yes, I know I should get past that, but I can't right now. I used to go for walks, but 4 or 5 degrees in the morning - I ain't going out there!! lol 2. Continue my Keto journey. I'm off insulin and healthier then I've been in years. 3.PURGE - purge my life of things. I want to get rid of all the cloths "I might need again". In the past if I went on a "diet" I kept them in case said diet didn't work. I've lost over 40lbs for the first time in my life. I don't want to think of going back to that weight. My Mother, ever supportive (not!) says I'll probably give up and go back, so hang on to them. I want this year, this WOE, this me to be different! So, I head upstairs now to rid myself of the 3X/4X cloths. I used to be a 26/28, now I'm a 20! Yes, I can fit into size 20!! Nothing has ever worked for me like this WOE. 4. Lastly, I want to move. My husband and I have talked about moving to New Hampshire for years, "when we retire" we keep saying. Well, we've retired and I want to find a ranch home with lovely views to live out the rest of my time with him. I am tired of getting up and seeing houses for as far as the eye can see. I want trees, a pond or stream, I want a spot for a garden, etc. I'm not allowed to grow a garden here, HOA doesn't allow it. My neighbor planted 1, yes 1 tomato plant and was sent a letter to remove it, gardens aren't allowed. I kid you not. I retired thinking I wouldn't live long because of the diabetes and my family history. Loosing the weight, getting off insulin and blood pressure pills has given me so much hope! I feel like my life isn't over, but just beginning. :-) I wish everyone else the same good fortune with their journeys!!

how about a dance class? Exercise is all about what you like to do. Maybe you and hubby can take a dance class together? Just a thought. Congratulations on your 40 lbs

I know it’s hard but try not to let others deter you from going to the community gym. They are not looking at you they are too preoccupied with themselves. They think people are looking at them too. Go and use the treadmill or weights or whatever. Don’t let others stop you from doing what is best for you.

HAHAHA hubby and I have both got nothing but left feet. We took dance lessons for our wedding and it was a complete disaster. I might try one of those websites in my bedroom though. :-)

You could start by stretching in bed before you wake and then go to stretches against the wall and with a chair and sitting in it. No need to get on the floor and play with the dogs yet! LOL 🙋🏻Look at DVD’s for workouts like Miranda Esmonde-White; she has a popular PBS show for years as well as a few books out. Stretching and using your body as your own exercise machine to start will get you going!🤷🏻‍♀️

I'd love to know what types of food you ate. I'm also diebetic, I usually eat lots of eggs. Limit my bread and pasta. So far I'm controlling with my diet. It's Sooo hard!!! I'm a night eater. I'm trying to change that.
