My name is Donna. I am 5’ 5” tall, 62 years old and from the Midwest USA. In 2016 I weighed 253 lbs. I am on a journey of health and to get back to the real me.
Every healthy habit brings me closer to scratching each of these off to NEVER see them again!

New handyman coming today so I shall see how that goes. Very rainy and gloomy here today and it rained all night too, but we needed it badly.

Success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in day out.
A pound a week seems reasonable. Why is it so hard?

Disappointed in myself for letting the pounds slip back on and now have to tackle the same old numbers on the scale. Getting back into focus … can I get back down to 201 by August 2022 to get back to where I was in August 2021? Hopefully but it will not be from wishful thinking but lots of hard work and focus on doing what is best for me.

BACK for the end of this year reporting my weekly WIs. I cannot ignore the weight gain and need to tackle it head on. Doesn't matter that this is the HOLIDAY SEASON. If I wait until 2023 to kick off the effort I will just be back where I was when I started this journey. So turning the situation around ... and reporting in.
