The holidays are over and the new year has begun. It is now time to resume my efforts to lose another 10 to 15 pounds. I find my biggest problem is getting back to a routine. Walking several days a week and working out a few days a week just hasn't happened. I've thought about it, but it seems to stop there. I suddenly find myself thinking of projects to work on.
The really good news is that somehow I made it through the holidays in very good shape. Neither Larry nor I put on any weight!!! That was the result I hoped for, but I didn't really expect it. I haven't measured myself yet, but again I don't expect any change there, either. It's possible I could find a slight increase in muscle area since I haven't been working out, but I had another suprise there today as well.
When I was dressing for church I put on a light blue sweater and without thinking, pulled out my navy slacks. I was dressed and heading out the door before it hit me. I had tried to wear the same outfit before Christmas but I couldn't button the waistband. This morning--no problem!!!
Last year my New Year's goal was to lose 25 pounds. I didn't make it, but I did the most important thing. I started. And I got almost two-thirds of the way there. So this year I hope to end the year at 125 pounds. That means I need to lose about 13 pounds... AND KEEP IT THERE.
Time to start working out. I'll keep you posted.
