Because of some health setbacks, I haven't been blogging for a while. I had surgery 7 weeks ago, and was on a little roll with the weight loss. I am having radiation treatments, and during one of the visits I was weighed, and the nurse was surprised at my weight. I had lost some weight since my initial consultation. I told her I had been trying, and she said I wasn't supposed to lose weight during radiation treatments!!! Well, how's that for a surprise?? And let me tell you, NOTHING can make you want to keep going at weight loss than someone telling you that you CAN'T lose weight!! But, I've settled in at this weight and I'm looking forward to a fit and fabulous 2013!
Til the next pound down!

It's Time!

I had made up my mind that there would be no "New Years' Resolutions" for me. I have started and stopped, started and stopped my whole adult life. I have always eaten healthy foods and had great health in general, and my joke was "I'm the healthiest fat person you know!" Well, now I'm beginning to fear for my health. Eating healthy is not enough. I have to start exercising, too. A couple miles on my recumbent bike once a month is not going to be enough, either. I need to get moving, in a BIG way. I haven't decided yet what I'll do, but my "stationary" habits and hobbies have got to change. I'm seriously needing input and motivation. I don't want diabetes or heart disease, or worse, cancer, like my parents had. Today is the day I need to start changing.
