Up until about age 43, I had no weight problems that were not self correcting. I am dysthemic; I have SAD, aka Seasonal Affective Disorder and PTSD! I take daily medication and do 'talk therapy' at least 2x/month , more as needed. 12/1/10 - I am still struggling to live within my means. I told my family I couldn't give Christmas presents to anyone - not family, not friends! 1/1/11 - Curves was the next thing to fall to 'living within my means'. I will miss it ...

I told my family I couldn't give Christmas presents to anyone - not family, not friends! 1/1/11 - Curves was the next thing to fall to 'living within my means'. I will miss it so! The wonderful friends I have made in the past two years! I no longer have a landline, or a monthly cell phone bill. I get prepaid minutes for my cell 'phone. I don't have cable TV. My Status,1/7/2012 "SUNNYWBL is working hard to push herself out of the dumps and back on track." I am slowly building up my activity level into weight loss mode again. I want to start working on weight loss again through Spring, Summer and EARLY Fall. The majority of calories burned in spring and summer in 2012 have come from renovating the back yard gardens. From a low of 145 pounds in 12/2010 I am back to around 160 pounds and need to RE-LOSE the weight. Aauuggh!

My Goals:
I am shedding the pounds that added up slowly and then a little faster when I drove a school bus for more than six years before I retired. I am still shedding some of my house's accumulation of 'stuff'. I never want to need BP or cholesterol meds nor to develop Type II diabetes.
My Program:
I got a GoFitWear armband and started tracking my activity and eating on July 1, 2009. Boy! no place to hide there, it tracks your activity 24/7! 8/20/09 down to 169!! (down 13 lb!) 8/30/09 down to 167 (down 15 lb) 12/17/09 down to 155 (32 Lb) 7/4/10 down below 151. (36 lbs) My low was 146. I had to give up Curves on 12/31/2010 due to budget problems. I mostly power walk/wog for my cardio. I DO enjoy Strength Training. I keep my sodium at or below 1600mg. I'm sorry to say I have regained some of the weight I'd lost. 1/6/13
Personal Information:
I've achieved 73 years in Aug, 2012, am formerly married and now live alone in White Bear Lake, Minnesota. WBL is a 'first ring ' suburb of St.Paul, the state capital of Minnesota. I have two great- grandchildren who both live in Washington state. I am a gardener. I have no grass in my front yard, just flowers and shrubs! I also grow blueberries, red and yellow raspberries, currents, gooseberries, some strawberries and now blackberries. I am an avid reader. I enjoy Science fiction, Alternative History, Crime and Mystery books. I love to use my Kindle Fire HD to read.
Other Information:
My favorite shoes for walking and wogging are now my Asics Gel running shoes. I have two pairs to wear on alternate days.
