My goal is to walk along the shore without pain. Wearing shorts would be a bonus!





Beach roses...one of my favorite things on the New England shore.

I am LOSING WEIGHT for ME!!!

I am a work in progress...wear a hard hat, beware of falling pounds.
************************************
I'm losing the weight for ME - for my health, for my self esteem, for the reflection I want to see in the mirror. I've never been a people pleaser, and I really don't care what others think of my weight - I just know that for me to feel good about myself, I have to get rid of the extra pounds and rolls of flubber that have found their way onto my once trim body. I know I won't ...

I'm losing the weight for ME - for my health, for my self esteem, for the reflection I want to see in the mirror. I've never been a people pleaser, and I really don't care what others think of my weight - I just know that for me to feel good about myself, I have to get rid of the extra pounds and rolls of flubber that have found their way onto my once trim body. I know I won't look like I did when I was 18 (nor do I want to). But being thinner, fitter, and healthier as I approach (*gasp*) my 50's is a goal I intend to reach!
***************************************
I admit to jelly bean binges, a love affair with butter, an addiction to half and half in my coffee. With that in mind, I have sworn off the candy, cut back on the butter (will NOT switch to margarine, it's step away from plastic) and am making I gradual shift to decaf with milk and then tea - gradual to avoid headaches from withdrawl.
************************************
My goal is to get fit and healthy - no matter what the scale says, I want to feel good physically and emotionally. I also want to fit into a size 10 again, this extra large/40DD/size 18 crap is killing me.

************************************
HAPPY TO REPORT: Progress is being made on my first official week back on Weight Watchers! The scale has dipped significantly - enough for me to see that new number in my head whenever the thought of unhealthy food enters...and I willingly choose fruit instead!

My Goals:
Overall: I want to look like the idealized image I have of myself in my head - not perfect, just toned, wearing cute clothes, and feeling healthy!

Short Term: Journal my food every day.

Medium: Continue to lose during the holiday season.

Long Term: Reach my 50th birthday weighing 50 lbs less than I do now - I have 13 months to get there!




My Program:
OFFICIALLY back on Weight Watchers!

**New Trick** Updating my computer passwords to reflect my goals and progress - very motivating, a bit of positive reinforcement each time I log on.

Personal Information:
I enjoy crafts - especially crocheting, quilting, and making cards. Happily married, three great kids (two still at home) and a houseful of pets including 8 cats, one guinea pig, one rabbit, 3 fish tanks and two raccoons who think we are serving them dinner in our garbage cans every night!

Other Information:
The "me" on the inside does not match the "me" on the outside. I like the inside me much better because it is confident, smart, funny, and refuses to grow old gracefully. The outside me is flabby, wears frumpy clothes that don't fit well, and looks much older that my 48 years.

Welcome to Caregiver Children! Sounds like we have a lot in common. I am caregiver for my mother, who will be 100 next year. My youngest is still at home, and we also have rabbits. DS has Holland Lops, mine are English angoras.

I love your 'beware of falling pounds', wonderful!

Looking forward to talking with you on the team boards, stop in anytime, anywhere, we're looking forward to chatting with you!

Good to hear the pain is fading! I'm doing ok - I am about 85% better since the cast came off but I still have that annoying PF pain so I'm seeing the doc in 2 weeks to see about the electrocorporeal shock therapy. we'll see how that goes - keep me posted on your progress!

Hi! You're welcome for the comments on your blog! I'm glad you didn't think I was being mean or something ... I always worry about that. I'm big on just telling the truth and being honest and sometimes it just doesn't go over well :)

I hope your foot is recovering nicely!! Take one day at a time and remember to breathe and smile at everything and everyone. I'm telling you... since I took on a positive outlook about life.. a lot of my excess weight has just fallen right off. :)
