I worked out 6 days in a row. I logged everything I ate. EVERYTHING. I watched my carbs and my protein. And I gained 2 pounds. Now lets take a moment and remember this was not about dropping pounds, this was about being healthy. I feel better. I feel great. No heart burn. I am sleeping well. I think my allergies might even be better. I am sticking to it. So my trainer has me adjusting my intake a bit upping it and really following her recommendations for a full 5 days. So we will see what happens next week.

    Maybe it is muscle you are building. I bet you are off and running. I have every faith that we can do this! We might be doing different things but WE ARE DOING it! We are making small and large changes. I was thinking about that this morning...all of the small changes I have made have got to amount to something. And they are..and they will...and they do! I put my jeans on after work and I so wanted them to be very loose (yes let's all accept how super impatient I am) but they only fit better. But guess what? THEY FIT BETTER. This encourages me not to stop. And I read your words and your healthier ways and new tackle on life for YOU are encouraging. Hug from the East Coast. Muaaaaaaahhhh!

What will I do with the next 14000 days of my life? Continue to unhappily live in a size 18 pants that are too snug? My mind will say "hey lets go for a walk, or a swim" and I just don't seem to get out the door. What in the world is my problem? I am 45 years old. What is the second half of my life going to be like? Am I going to live with the 200's on the scale? Eating brownies and ice cream and candy?

So here's the thing. I am a size 18 or an XXL. I am done with it. Over it. I see cute things but they don't look cute on me or don't come in my size. Places I want to shop don't have my size. So what did I do today to get closer to this goal. I downloaded Myfitnesspal and logged most of what I ate. Nothing like half assing something right? That's how I got this whole ass by half assing way too many things. UGH!

sad day

I spent today with Dominic's grandmother and grandfather. They are both 97 years old have been married over 70 years. He has Alzheimer's and lives in the memory care unit and she has a one bedroom apt down the hall in an assisted living community. It's a great place such a caring staff and it's clean but it's not home. It's the best but it's not home. Grandpa is sad, scared and confused and misses his wife and probably most of his life. It left with a a lump in my heart. I vow to visit them as much as I can. It's hard to visit, it's hard to say good bye when you must go but I want to help make these last days of their lives filled with family and happiness and things to look forward to. I have an uncle that passed from Alzheimers so is it in my family? I don't know. What can I do to lower my risk? To know the signs? To help find a cure. We need better ways to help patients and I see so many similarities between my work with children with aut
