For me, losing weight is one of the hardest things to accomplish. I know….I’ve lost over 100 pounds three times in my life. I’ve asked myself a million times, how could you gain all that weight back AGAIN. I’ve found all kinds of reasons, made all kinds of excuses. The bottom line, I made poor choices and consumed more calories than I burned.
In recent years, I’ve been what I call a yoyo dieter. I lose some weight and then gain some back. Having lost my girlfriend last month at the age of 59, I’ve decided I need to get back into a serious weight loss mode. I remember how her kids use to call her for advice or encouragement. I want to be around for my kids.
Today, I am renewing my effort at this weight loss journey. I’ve started my day with a bottle of water and a cup of coffee. I’m not hungry right now but plan on having a bowl of oatmeal when I do decide to eat.
Last year I bought a really nice treadmill. I haven’t figured out all the programs on it. I really only want to know how far I’ve gone, the speed, amount of calories I’ve burned, and the amount of time I’ve been on it. I also like the fact I can adjust the incline.
I’m off to take a walk on my treadmill. My short term goal is: lose 2 pounds this week.
