Here it is the beginning of another year. I’m not any heavier or lighter, I seem to stay in the same general weight area, a little up, a little down, some stay the same. Would like to change that this year. Can this be my year? I read a book a few months ago titled “It was me all along”. Some insight into the struggle we all go through to accomplish (most anything) our weight loss. I would like to prioritize my life, family always is first. Think when you have a Spouse, Children and Grandchildren, we would all do anything we can; to be with, help them, enjoy them etc. Any other time, also when I am with them, I will put my exercise, food plan, self awareness, journaling, etc ahead of other activities. I live a full life, busier now at 68 than I was before I retired, it’s amazing. Getting older was never something I dreaded, just a fact of life. I am super happy with my life, my joy, my activities, just would like to walk a mile and still carry on a conversation. I would like to be able to get up off the floor without putting my butt in the air (no one wants to see that!!). I would like to ride my bike with the Grandchildren to get a treat, and ride back. Right now I could not even ride there. My husband has always wanted to see Gettysburg, I want to see the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. Have planned the trip for late April, I want to be in shape for the walking that will be involved. Can I do it? Yes I can, Will I do it? That is the real question, will I have the resolve to follow through. Today, I believe I will!! Tomorrow will come, hoping I will feel the same way. One day at a time, one step at a time. I will look forward to journaling here more regularly, know there are a lot of success stories here, will look for inspiration, friendship, and joy in our journey to a healthier life. Back to the sewing machine. Enjoy this day!!
