Where in the world have I been... and what happened while I was gone???

My last post was actually in February... Good Lord!

  • Let's see, since Febraury I have had two grandchildren... truth be told, two of my kids had children.
  • I aged another year - had a birthday - for anyone who I have not already told... it is March 25th.
  • And the big thing... I have expanded in size by the size of a village... I have my own zip code now. Don't tell anyone, they may not notice. I dress so as to give the illusion of only morbidly obese.

Yes, I let myself go - I was totally enjoying life and all the new kids that I paid no attention as the weight just increased more and more. So, now what??? Loose it!


Here's the plan.

  • I will diet - joined Weight Watchers on September 11th.
  • Start exercising, really working at this one. I am walking at home with videos, I am walking and dancing with my Zune (love this one), I am walking outside, I am walking with the babies in my new jogging stroller, I am jogging, I try to run but afraid of any vault lines I may run over.
  • I am checking out a gym / fitness center, I joined the Martin Memorial Fit2Lose Program.... starts October 4th... keep watch for blogs about that.
  • I will keep a blog / journal of the process... already started on my weight watchers blog page... I will copy some of it to put here.

The plan, put quite simply is to drop over 100 pounds. I am already down by 15 - in two and a half weeks. I had been tempted to try lapband and even talked Barrie into it - but then promised him I would give another attempt at doing it on my own. Not on my own - with incredible help. My best friend, Barrie and my beautiful daughter, Melissa.

And - I want to ride my bike again. No, not a bicycle... my scooter. Not just some little 49cc scooter... My Yamaha Majesty 400cc scooter. I miss it so much.

OK, enough for now. Back soon.
