Re: My Daily "Weighing in"
Posted: Sun Aug 19, 2018 6:04 pm
Today is Sunday and is my "chill" day. I take a break from exercising and stay in my PJ's for a lot of the morning and watch TV a little. I also like to read and did some scrapbooking as well. I dug up old pictures of our family camping trips and decided to scrapbook using those pictures. Of course, those pictures brought back memories and mostly good but the very few pictures of me brought me back to days when I had back spasms and prayed that I would not get one while on vacation. I remember being out of breath and tired. I remember not having clothes that I felt good in.....etc, etc...
Things are so different now. I can walk three miles easily, my wardrobe is just fine, but small because I am still losing weight. The worries about activity during vacation are not with me either.
I look at my self back then and feel gentleness and understanding toward myself. I was a busy mom who worked night shift and watched my five children during the day. I was tired and fed my tiredness with all sorts of food. I had read about Dr McDougall but didn't know how to fit that lifestyle into MY life. I really didn't know if I would ever do it.
I weigh about 70 pounds less now. It is easier now as I am retired and my husband cooks for himself and I just have to think about my own meals. My husband is supportive as are my children. I have energy that I didn't have then. I guess this is my time now. I hope to live to 100 or as long as I can and still feel so amazing.
My journey is not ended. I continue to eat as well as I can and do my exercises and be active. There are more pounds to lose and i relax (usually) as I just eat what I love and wait for more losses and more life gains.
Have a good week everyone !
