Today is my first full day and it is not over yet.....
I have struggled with food my entire life. I was diagnosed with diabetes almost seven years ago. By getting my BMI below 30 I have been able to stay off of meds for the past couple of years. But the numbers keep creeping up and the struggle never lets up.
As for an introduction, I have been married to the same wonderful man for almost 25 years. I am the mom of two amazing college grads that are starting their vocations. I work full time, but I feel like there is something else that I am supposed to be doing with my life. Maybe because I am underemployed and need more of a challenge.
I am glad to have been introduced to this site by a friend at work. I am determined to log my day, no matter what, and get my exercise level higher than couch potato.
I love to work out side in my yard with roses and a veggie garden, but I live in south Texas and the days of being outside are numbered.
Onward!
