It's been a little over ten months since the hurricane in Florida. One heck of a year looking back, it's hard to believe how much has changed.
Things I lost and gave up were my job, my home, a very unhealthy relationship with a sibling, and smoking.... although my addiction to nicotine continued with nicorette lozengers until two months ago.
Things I've gained... new perspective on life, self esteem as far as not accepting my former role of being a doormat and punching bag, dignity, self respect, new opportunities as far as travel and occupation,,,
And.... 28 pounds
This morning I still felt bad about this. I went away over the last two days and cried because I looked like a cow in the cute little outfit I wanted to buy.
The weather here in Northern Michigan is cold and damp, being over weight makes it even more difficult and painful to my bones.... they aren't happy right now and neither am I.
I made a comment in a post this morning about having gained weight. It reminded me of the past year and all that has happened and how far I have come since then. The obstacles and odds I over came to be where I am today. So I accumulated a little baggage I hadn't intended on, but today I can proudly say it's not emotional baggage... I'm finally free of that.
Now however.... It's time to get "Back on Track" physically and let go of the physical baggage I've been lugging around.
I'm hoping creating a post for incentive, support, and a little help/suggestions will help me to stay on track and stick with it. My goal is to loose at least 20 pounds by November... more is possible and preferably.
Right now I am in a lot of pain... my joints, muscles, feet, and hands hurt all the time. Bike riding intensifies the pain, so walking is better, but then my one foot starts causing me intense pain. It's very frustrating, but I'm determined to do it and get healthy again.
Anyone else who wants to join in with getting back on track, jump on in and lets do this.
