WOW, IS IT 2013 ALREADY? BUT!

Wednesday, January 23, 2013

I really want to stop this yo-yo ups and downs with my weight. I am 10 years older, and have a lot of health issues. I now have both my knees totally replaced, and my left hip totally replaced. BUT isn't that to help me to move and walk without so much pain. And the operations was successful. I may have fibromyalgia, BUT I can still move. I have degenerate disc disease. BUT I have medication that helps with all this. I must be thankful for what I can do. I do not want to use my health issues to disable me. I want to be healthy. and to do the best with what I have. I am over weight to the point that I am obese. BUT this can change too. I can still make improved choices to what I eat, and move. Thank God I still can.

Blundered Another Time, But This Too Can Be Turned Around

Sunday, December 30, 2012

Time and time again I want to start out the New Year with a promise to lose weight. I start out pretty good, then I slip and then just throw away it all. Now it is a real health issue for me. I have both my knees replaced, and one of my hips replaced. I am a boarderline diabetic. My Doctor has told me that I can turn this around with weight loss. I am still right where I left of at 216 lbs. I should be ashamed of this. No I will not put it that way. I will start today and improve each day. I will use the tools that I have. I will move the best that I can. I will record what I eat, and know that this is for Me. Me to turn around my 65 years for many many more healthy years.

Sounds like me, I do well then slip on day 1 usually and then so so.... I have to have my R knee replaced, not looking forward to that at all and am so scared, but a year and half wait so have time to lose and also to strengthen my knees. Worried about how moving while recuperating will hurt my back... oh well. HUS and happy New year Report Inappropriate Comment

7 come 11

Sunday, January 16, 2011

7 come 11. That sounds lucky. Luck does not have anything to do with the changes that I must take to lose the weight and become healthy. I have been a drifting member since 2007. Ridding some weigh, only to turn around and finding it. I commit myself to improve this year. I will exercise 5 times a week for 1 hour each day. I weighed myself the 1st day of 2011. Disappointed, but not even surprised (since my close no longer fit). YUCK I am back to 212 lbs. I have been exercising, and changed my eating pattern, and watching portions. I have lost 3 lbs this year. I would love to have a friend to help me when I may have a slip up. This year I am determined I will become that healthy, thin Grandmother of 12

Just going through some blogs to see where I can encourage someone. Please know that you are in my prayers today. I'm praying the Lord would lift you up and give you what you need today. Scripture says to cast our cares upon Jesus because He's able to accomplish all that He says He will do. He's the same today, tomorrow and forever, never changing and never failing. Praying you would feel His love today and know that you are cared for. Report Inappropriate Comment

Wake up each morning knowing that you have been given a new chance, put a smile on your face, give yourself a little pep talk because you know you can do this and get your day started with a happy thought, and thank God you have this new day. Before you go to sleep each night, thank God for the day you have just had and give yourself a pat on your back for a job well done...that you did the best you could for that day. Putting God first, know that you are in control! You are working toward making yourself a healthier you. You can do this!!!
