If you remember though, I got married a month after my dad had his double lung transplant. I was seriously stressed for several months leading up to that.
It's summer now and you can't go into any stores without seeing swimsuits at the very front. Makes me cringe!
I have no one to blame but myself. When I get home from work I could be walking around the block but instead I sit in the recliner with my dogs in my lap. Oh and I really love food. My favorite thing is to try new restaurants.
Many of my friends have bought Fitbits or other tracking devices lately and they seemed to really like them. I drank the Kool-aid too. I decided I was going to do that for myself for my birthday. So a few weeks ago I bought a Fitbit Charge. It's not the fancy one that measures heart beats and GPS and other bells and whistles. Must admit, I haven't lost any weight but I do take the long way around to my desk at work and if I'm really close to achieving the 10,000 daily steps, I'll walk around the house or backyard until I do. I figure any extra steps is good.
I'm so very grateful that my husband is very very supportive and tells me all the time he loves me no matter what and finds me beautiful. I've had 2 relationships in the past where they were pretty mean and unsupportive if I gained weight. That alone was so stressful. I felt pressured all the time. I know I need to lose the weight for my health but I also want to feel good about myself.
It's a challenge every day. I really do love tacos!
