No More Excuses


This past summer, I started this weight loss journey again. Curiously, I haven't felt like I was on a "diet." This time, it's more of a realization that I haven't been treating my health as the gift it truly is. Now, I stop and think before reaching for every brownie, rib, hamburger, or fry. I ask myself, "Is this something that I really need? Should one, two, three, etc. moments of taste be more valuable than a long healthy life?" I think not!! I'm no longer just dieting to be skinny.

I'm changing my life to one of health.

    Hi, I'm Kim (SophieMae2007) from the Spaniel Lovers team. I see you are from Ohio. So am I, Toledo! From your picture it looks like you have a Brittany Spaniel? I have 2 cockers.

    Glad to have a fellow Buckeye on board!

    Hey, the stroller suggestion was good - wish we HAD a mall. I live in a tiny Texas town that doesn't even have a Wal-Mart. However, the place where we walk is a track around the library/community center, so my husband pushed the stroller while I walked, and then they hung out in the library until I got finished. I got in 1.75 miles yesterday morning, but didn't get to walk last night. I won't be walking this morning because of church, so I'm really going to have to make an effort to walk as much as I can tonight.

    I was just reading your comment about losing your tabby. My 13 year old orage tabby named Harley died last summer. When he was about 10, he developed diabetes, but I gave him shots twice a day and he did pretty well.

    Then about a year 1/2 before he died, he got a sore on his tail that wouldn't heal. The vet removed his tail, and he recovered from the surgery but kept getting tumors.

    He finally got to where he just couldn't get comfortable and wouldn't eat. I had to have him put to sleep, and I thought I'd die. He was the only cat I've ever had that ran to me when I called for him.

    Purrsy is white with blue eyes, and Cat Boy is gray with green eyes - I love them, but I still miss my poor old Harley.
