I have not been writing a lot on my blog lately. I have been busy enjoying the holidays and spending time with my Grands. I have been feeling a little bit guilty that I have not been putting updates on here but I don't want to just randomly write and post.
I want you all to know that I treasure your friendships. Some of you I have never even met but you continue to lift me up to become a better person. Your comments and messages are very much appreciated and motivating. I only hope I have been able to lift you up too.
I wish you health, strength, happiness, and most of all peace in this New Year.
Now I need to go because I am being called on to engineer a light saber out of a gift wrap tube and empty toilet paper rolls. I am going to go play and "Just keep swimming!"
ME!
Holding my "before" favorite shirt after losing 125 pounds on my journey to better health.
Happy New Year to you! Thank you for all your posts!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog a year ago, and I don't remember how I came across it, but I am so glad that I did. I have fibromyalgia and peripheral neuropathy for the past 10 years. I was 50 pounds overweight and dreading January 1st. Fat people should start a diet on January 1st, but I just didn't have it in me. Virtually every January 1st I go on a diet and stick with it for about 2 months and then go back to all my old habits. Pain is a great motivator for me to eat. But you said something that sounded do-able: cut out white carbs. Why not, I thought. Well here we are just a few days shy of 12 months since I began and I lost all 50 pounds. I averaged 1 pound a week and somehow I stuck with it. I feel better about me which makes me feel better overall. I still deal with a lot of pain, but my energy level is so much better. I still can't believe I did it and I just thought you would like to know that your simple approach worked and I am very thankful I found your blog. Happy New Year to you!
