NON WW & WW NEWBIES, OUR NEW LIFE, THE START OF SOMETHING WONDERFUL

Morning gals:

I am back, it's been a long time since I have been on here. I think I forgot how to type on my computer. LOL
I am getting back in the swing of things. I have spent the last few days, cleaning out my garage, saying goodbye to some of my dad's things I needed to let go, moving my desk in a place that I have access whenever I need to sit at it..so you should see me back to my consistent ways. I am not going to try to eat normal yet, we are doing a 3 day fast at church, so I will be able to eat healthy again after that, set my goals of calories and sugar in place. I have been slowly getting back into my exercise. I worked out with a you tube video of Leslie S today and hand weights. I am so out of shape, but will be getting back to the muscle tone again. My treadmill is dead, but I have new ways to move my body. LOL

@peruviansweetie Glad to see you back old friend!!! You can do this. I hear the WW is more protein in their new update. Sounds like a plan I could stick with.

@TrishasTime I am glad to have you here, It's fun to have someone from another part of the world here. Taking the dogs for a walk keeps you moving!!

@theslightedgeforever I am here!!

@trooworld Hey friend, sorry I have been MIA, either depression got me, moving my house around, or just busyness....but I am here. Thank you for telling theslightedge to send out the hounds for me...

Morning gals! Today is the 1st day of a 3 day fast. This is a spiritual fast, 3 days of prayer and fasting. I am emotional today and I think it's just that it is so close to the day my Dad had the stroke and going through his things again this last week. You know, it should make me be the perfect role model...but I am human as so were my parents. I got a visual of me in my chair and it took me back to the last picture taken of my dad on his birthday last year...he was so heavy and he got to where he really only sat in his chair except to sleep or go to the bathroom. When I saw that I was headed that way this past week, I shook my head and said no no not today!! Some things are genetic, some are not. Sitting in my chair is not genetic, it's an emotion attached to a non action. So today I will get up and move....

@trooworld I am sure you will be fine, you really have a good will power about you and you know what your goals are. You also know that you won't just binge and then quit. You may eat some food you didn't plan on, but you also know how to get up and make tomorrow a better day.

@peruviansweetie I am so glad you are here, today your message made me cry at how good God is, he knew I needed an old friend today. Yes this is for your health, but you know it's really OUR LIFE...sometimes when we say health we think we have lots of time to change our ways....but what if what you ate or didn't eat or moved or didn't move and you could physically SEE life or death in your actions instead of on demand programming...LOL I turned 60 this Christmas and as I sat this morning, I thought God, why do we wait until we are this age to think about how to live a better physical life? I decided it's like my grandchildren, they think that death won't touch them because they are too young...so they don't always make good choices..LOL I didn't mean to be so drastic, but I looked at me, myself and I... and said health...hum I fly right over that word, but LIFE or no LIFE? That puts a whole different picture in my head. I remember the day I put my dad in a group home...he said are we going to your house or mine? That was the hardest conversation. He was a diabetic (years) heart patient (years)...and yet he chose to eat what he liked no matter what...his motto was...I will just take more insulin...So I am looking at me again...don't be like your father. I love my dad and miss him terribly, but not the part that I had to take care of him, worry over him...and know it was his choice not mine.

@TrishasTime wow the temps are high, when do you get chilly? I am sure you will get it all done. You sound like a planner! I hope you have a good rest of your day off!

@theslightedgeforever took the day off? LOL

Morning all:
I am doing much better, I was mostly just active yesterday, I got in 9537 steps, almost hit my 10K. I haven't done that in a while. I want to keep that as my goal of steps, I may not always reach it, but I know it's my normal activity level and need to strive for that. I am on this fast, so no food yesterday, just water. Today I will add some of my Young Living Ningxia red for nutrients, but will stay off food again today. This is just a 3 day fast. One of my grand kids said Grandma you can die from not eating...I said not just for 3 days....LOL I am de-cluttering and it feels good to put the past year behind me and look forward to 2018.

@TrishasTime I don't know what I would think about my winter being in April to June..LOL that would mess with my head. I live in AZ and we don't get much of a winter here either, but it's cold at night, so I feel like it's winter. We haven't turned the heat on yet...just put on more clothes.

@trooworld Good for you. See I knew you would breeze through that event. I remember when I was on a losing streak with WW and then would have a sudden gain..it would really bum me out...until I said you know It's like life, it has it's ups and downs..LOL I used to have an app that would drive my coworkers crazy. It would notify me it was time to drink, by the sound of pouring water. The girls always said it made them think they had to go potty..LOL

@theslightedgeforever Good job on being an overacheiver...I just found a note that said...I think she came out full grown...LOL It's a good thing you are a goal setter and you actually meet them...I set them and think why did I waste my time dreaming..LOL

okay, I have to go gals
