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! Want a Sparkfriend? If you add me, I'll add you. I just started too. I think we're trying to lose about the same amount of weight. I'm trying to walk 3 miles a day and watch carbs.

    Just like you, I was "sparked" into losing weight when I saw a picture of myself - mine was from vacation. I started my losing weight adventure last Friday.

    I teach 4th grade Language Arts, have 3 children, 2 cats, 1 guinea pig.

    Before I hit 45, I could eat whatever, whenever, as much as I wanted without worrying about weight. In fact, whenever I got really stressed out, I would lose too much weight automatically. My activity level on weekends was get out of bed, get new book, read, repeat ... and it didn't matter, I was skinny.

    Latest vacation pictures revealed, pudgy person with watermelon-sized waist-boobs ... nice hat, though.

    Hope to hear from you!
