Time for a change (again)
May 1, 2012 Back (again). Heavier, hurting, humbled.
June-1-11 Starting all over (again). But it's serious now. I 've seen the xrays that show show my knees are shot, Somehow I've been able to delude myself for a few years that my obstructive sleep apnea, borderline hypertension, occasional reflux, and off the chart BMI weren't really all that bad. Afterall. I'm healthier than my siblings. And I could still work just as hard and long as my younger/thinner workmates. And I could ...

June-1-11 Starting all over (again). But it's serious now. I 've seen the xrays that show show my knees are shot, Somehow I've been able to delude myself for a few years that my obstructive sleep apnea, borderline hypertension, occasional reflux, and off the chart BMI weren't really all that bad. Afterall. I'm healthier than my siblings. And I could still work just as hard and long as my younger/thinner workmates. And I could still do my 5 mile walk over the Mackinaw Bridge every Labor Day. But not now......I've seen the xrays. So I'm back....because deep down inside my pessimistic self is a quiet little optimist that is saying "You can still change this..."
Before:
And now I'm doing it! I stuck my big toe into the SP pool on 2-16-08 and little bit by little bit I'm starting to immerse myself and dare to declare that I really have started a brand new life
8-16-08 Six month update: Had a lot of family drama over the summer and I got lost along the way. I have been checking into SP almost daily but stopped tracking my nutrition and my fitness. Losing my pedometer didn't help! I've refound 7 lbs of the 30 I had lost. The extra pounds and the junky eating and not enough good exercise has left me feeling like crap. I forgot to take care of me. It's time for a change...........
4/27/09 I gained it all back and then some. Totally lost my way in a lot more family drama. I have been checking into SP almost daily but stopped moving and tracking. I do not intend to live this way any longer. New goals, new resolve, time to take care of me for a change.....
11/17/09 Still sitting on the fence. Back to checking into SP and reading. Started moving again. Got a new book on the way to help readjust my thinking......again.
