Do you remember Yogi Bear? The fun-loving, happy, bear OR do you remember the bear with the big belly who waddled around the campground?? I remember the latter, especially when I look in the mirror. Never thought at middle-age I would compare my body shape to a cartoon bear!!
I am trying (or at least I was trying) to change my body image. I have lost 25 pounds (do I hear applause)...and kept it off for one year (applause again please). Willpower has not been my friend. But today is a new day. Looked and searched until the pedometer was located....10,000 steps a day!! That is goal #1. Goal #2 will be to drink 8 glasses of water or unsweet tea a day. Unsweet tea...a BIG change for this southern gal. Have to say it is an acquired taste. And because of migraine triggers, no artificial sweetener added. Yuck!!!!
Beginning this day with a talk to myself "I'm nam, I'm nam, I'm nam going to start new today." (I'm nam is my grandson's way of saying I am)
Wish me luck!! I'm nam going to keep you posted. Happy day everyone!!!
Join me in my desperate attempt to overcome my addiction to sugar while I try to not laugh out loud at the silly children in my life. It's supposed to be simple now that I'm in my 50's..but instead it's a roller coaster ride!!
