So I realize it is no secret that I am out of shape. But there is a saying I keep hereing that I finally took to heart. That saying is "When are you going to be to sick and tired of being sick and tired". I am sick and tired of not being able to do things I want to do bec of lack of energy. I am sick and tired offalling not keeping up with others when going places. I am sick and tired of having to take so many medications for problems associated with my weight. Well I have found that time. So I have made a few changes in my life. As of a week and half ago I have started working out in the gym. I have a friend who is going with me to inspire me and act as my trainer to push me harder. I am working out harder and for longer than I think I ever have in my life. As much as I may hurt and complain I thank her for what she is doing. You are an Angel in my life right now. I started weighing myself last tuesday. As of this sfternoon I am happy to report I have lost 5 lbs in the last week.
Along this line I am trying to change my diet, and eat a lot healthier. I know i can workout all I want but unless I eat right it will all be for nothing. This is the harder part of the changes that I am doing. I have taken comfort from eating when depressed, which is a lot more often than I really admit to myself or others. But I know unless I make major changes things will only get worse. One of the reason I am writing this all is I am asking my friends to help me in this endeavor. I realize there is not a lot you can do since most of the time I am not around you. But I welcome any encouragement I can get to help me through this. And for those of you I do see on somewhat regular basis to keep me in check. And for those Interested I will make sure to keep you updated with my progress.
