Welcome and Weight

Hello and welcome to my first blog post! Let’s get right into it…

Last week I changed my bed sheets.  

A simple chore…pull off old sheets, put on new bottom sheet, put on new top sheet, put on new comforter, put on pillowcases.  No wrestling, no lifting, no fancy maneuvers.  Done.

I needed my INHALER!  No word of a lie.  It took me 20 minutes to get my breathing back to normal.  WTH?!

If that’s not rock bottom, the last straw, a sign, I don’t know what is.

I am fully aware that I am slightly overweight.  My darling grandson has mentioned it to me a few times!  Although I was mortified that he noticed and more than a little hurt, his comments brought me down rather than spurred me on to lose the flab.  Kids say the darndest things!

I know that my clothes size keeps getting bigger, but those sizes keep getting smaller…am I right?

But an INHALER????  It’s time to take action!  I am 62 years old and things are not funny anymore, this is my health, my life, and I want it to be long and healthy.

Effective today Operation Weight Loss has begun. At 62 (they tell me I am “senior”…lol) I realize this won’t be easy but I am determined.

Tuesdays will officially be known as Taking Off the Weight Tuesdays.  I need to keep myself accountable, so I will be writing honestly about how my week has gone, my movement (lol), my food plan and my general battle of the bulge.  

So here I go, pulling up my XL big girl pants and getting on with getting healthy…I hope you will follow along on my journey.

Til next time,
