Thought of the day

 

I know that one of my daily challenges has been to get more aerobic exercise into my daily regime, but it is time for me to seriously look into losing weight.  I know a lot of the reasons that I have gained so much weight since October.  I won't go into them now but just know that I am highly aware of them.  Let's just say that the time has come to shed the unwanted pounds.

This morning, I am planning my grocery store run.  I need to fill my cart with fruits and vegetables!  I definitely need more salads and fresh vegetables in my life.  That and smaller portions LOL I am one of those people, no big shock here, that doesn't throw things out when they're still of good use. Use being the important word there.  I have so many clothes that are good that I simply cannot fit into anymore.  I will ultimately donate them if I have to, but I would love to be able to fit into them again.  My wardrobe has become very limited because of my weight gain.

Yesterday, I went to visit with my Dad and June.  When I was getting ready, I tried on a pair of shorts to wear.  I had not worn them since last year because there had not been a great need yet.  Now that the weather is warmer, that has changed.  Well, I couldn't even get the button anywhere near the buttonhole.  It was rather pathetic to me.  I got very frustrated but let it go because I was on a time clock to get out the door.  And I like these shorts.  They have plenty of wear left in them!

During our visit, Dad and I went to lunch.  I could barely squeeze into the booth at the restaurant.  That was embarrassing.  I managed to push the table towards Dad as much as I could without him being pinned in.  At least I was able to breathe even though my stomach was still touching the table LOL  Took them a cake, like I always try to do.  Dad had a piece.  June had 3 pieces, so it was good. I declined. I just couldn't bring myself to do it.  Ah, well.

Time to get off my butt and do something about this.  Who knew being able to look down and see my shoes would become a life goal!  That is all.
