Healthy and Happy

Almost a year on SP and the physical changes have been slow, the mental one are huge! I have not lost much weight, lost 6, gained 4, lost 2....... Anyway, mentally I am in a different place. I feel positive. I know that binge/emotional eating will not change things, except make me feel worse. I know that I am strong and in control. I know that, by taking baby steps, I can get healthy. For the first time in 30 years of "dieting", I feel that I am doing this for the right reasons. Not weight ...

So onward I go, excited and ready for what life has to offer.

Thank you for stopping by my blog and leaving such encouragement. I believe in cultivating an attitude of gratitude and being as positive as I can be. Yep, crap happens to me too, but I choose to find the positive within it. Have an wonderful day.
Hugs,

I did see that, and it makes me sad. Their affection for each other was so sweet -- I hope they didn't have a falling out.

emoticon for commenting on my blog. Your analogy about the red lights is spot on. So much of what I've experienced involves truly becoming an active participant in my life.

Oh, and regarding your status update -- feeling positive is the most important streak to start! emoticon

Hi there...yes, it has been a while. I had a really tough year healthwise, weightwise, and stresswise, but I am working on improving everything this year. My knee is problematic because my knee cap is cracked and they want to do another entire replacement, but I said no thanks. They also wanted to do two shoulder surgeries for torn rotator cuffs, but I said no to that, too. As long as I still have full range of motion and can do all the things I need to do, I can put up with some discomfort instead of the agony of post surgical recovery and therapy. I'll know when it's the right time. I have had tendonitis in my hands since my month in the hospital in October '11 and can't close my hands or move my fingers well. The biggest problem is that I can't hike or exercise anymore due to spinal stenosis, so I get frustrated with not being able to burn more calories. Oh well, no one ever said getting older would be easy! Richie is fine...we had our 5th anniversary on Halloween and we still haven't had our first fight. He's a good man and I'm blessed to have him in my life. So, that's the Reader's Digest version of the past year and it's onward and upward for the year ahead. Glad to hear all is well with you and I hope the new year brings you health, happiness, prosperity, and peace.
