Well I am into week two of my journey and I can tell it is going to be a long slow trip, but that is ok. I just need to keep on trucking and keep on moving. I am very proud of the 5lbs that are gone and never to be seen again.
The fun thing about it this time, is that I have a new perspective and learning so much about nutrition that I already thought I knew. They say it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks, but I am finding that not to be true. In addition, learning them has not only turned out to be a fun thing, it keeps me focused and interested.
I am even thinking about setting a few goals here and there. Not just weight loss goals, but activity goals as well. My first is to relearn riding a bike. I bought a bike a month ago and so far I wave to my husband as he rides away on his. I have used up a few excuses to not get on that bike! I have actually moved the bike from one place to another on the deck so does that count as exercise:-) Guess not.
I have found as I have gotten older I can't walk a straight line much less balance on a bike. My theory on that one is there is more to balance. So, I will continue to walk until I reach a 20lbs weight loss then I will challenge the bike. Oh wait, I guess that would put me just about into the middle of winter. Shucks!

So The Journey Begins
My daughter has inspired me to start a new journey. This one does not involve travel or trailers or any form of fun. It is a most evil word and hate to even put it in print. DIET! Whew, that was painful, but I did it. I know this is not going to be an easy journey, but a necessary one since I would like to be healthy enough to retire and actually have a quality life.
I just wrote on my daughter's Blog that I had been off and on attending WW since 1972. That is a long time to not have gotten the message! In addition, I could probably retire on what I have spent at meetings and for the online tools. Now, we have discovered free tools and new enthusiasm about making the trip to good health. I am so excited that there are people responding to Christy's Blog and that they will also be sharing the journey to health.
It won't be a quick trip, but I pray it will be a slow and steady one. I am sure we will all have a few bumps in the road, but we just need to get back on track and keep on trucking. See you on down the road, healthier and hopefully thinner. I am just gonna sit back and enjoy the ride!
