Thinking out loud

Tweet

I remember my Mom buying chubby sized dresses for me when I was a kid. I've never been a bikini model and never wanted to be! Health calls my name. Joints and a cruddy back and cruddy knees are demanding that I shed some pudge. I have set goals before on this front. I did it again. I set a "me" goal at the start of July. For me I would lose five pounds by my road trip- the road trip that we would make on the third week of August. All through July I traded fruit for some sweet treats. I made sure to walk somewhere with Rufus on Friday mornings. I made myself do more little cleaning tasks and just in general kept a better eye on calorie intake. I also drank protein shakes that my daughter says is good for me. And I did it. I have lost just over five pounds. I have three weeks to go so full speed ahead! Maybe I can get to ten pounds down? I'm sure that Rufus plans to stick around so I might as well keep on taking care of him and me at the same time.
