Hi Hatters!
Well its New Year's Eve day, and i just wanted to pop in and wish all the lovely Hatters a healthy 2020!
I did my final weigh in for this year this morning, and will weigh tomorrow morning at the start of the new year as well. This year my goal is going to be getting my blood sugar down to a normal range.. its the biggest priority for me going forward and while part of that will be losing weight, more of it will be focusing on eating better. I had a few health issues over Christmas which has made me realize my only wish for all of us is a healthy 2020 - the wealthy and wise as the saying goes of course would be great too lol.. but we can go after those two as long as we have our health
Wishing all of you a wonderful 2020!2 -
I hope you’re okay Snoozie. We take our health for granted until something happens and then it’s a real eye opener. An ad for the new weight loss app called Noom showed up in my Facebook feed. The first question it asked was, do you want to focus on health or weight? That really got me thinking...which do I choose? I always thought they were the same thing but they really aren’t. I agree with you that our health is the most important thing. I’m going to spend some time coming up with measurable health goals and I firmly believe that if I can achieve them then my weight will go down. Improving my health is my top concern for 2020, too.
Happy New Year Hatters!!!2 -
I'm fine now Suzy - it was just a combination of things that all happened at once; a head cold then my hand swelled up and couldnt use it, then my shoulder went out on me - when i realized my only wish was to be better before the start of the new year it made me realize that the weight wasnt the biggie anymore, its my health. I had also discovered while removing the licence plates from my car that i had trouble getting up after squatting for so long (those suckers were welded on tight) and that made me realize too that my focus now should be on cardio, strength training and lowering my blood sugar. as you said, if i do that my weight should adjust as a result... so kudos to you on your decision to work on health goals too.

Happy New Year everyone!!
I love the "be the best you"!
Still going through the hacking,,coughing, sneezing stuff. Two shots made it a bit better along with some meds.
Hope you're better Snoozie.
I am using the phone app so forgive any glitches if I don't catch them ..we have been off work since the 23rd. Gotta go back Thursday...yuck!
Funny you should say that about the Jetsons, Snoozie. I was teĺling some of the yoing guys at work last week that I thought by 2020 we'd be like the Jetsons, too....they didn't know what I was talking about. Lol
Makes me feel old! Not! Although 60 is around the bend.
Best wishes for our year 2020!!

Happy New Year! I so agree about health being important, including mental health of course. I have to remind myself that it's something that needs to be constantly worked on as I get older, and weight control is just a small part of that work. So funny about the Jetsons! I used to get so excited about what the future I would live in would be like. I thought having people walk on the moon was just the start, and by 2020 we would have most definitely colonised other planets, hopefully met other intelligent life, etc.!
Anyway, I love the idea of something broad about being our best selves today. I think it allows for acknowledging other things we have achieved, not just weight loss.
Wishing you all the very best for 2020!!1
