| Well, I have a goal of 2 blog entries a month so I’m really coming down to the wire here. There’s many a topic to discuss, but one that’s come to forefront recently is health. It’s been tough keeping up with my health, especially since I had boy #2 (who is now 18 BTW). I had him when I was 38 and the boy just didn’t bounce back the way it did when I had boy #1 when I was 33. Now I’m 56, have High blood pressure and I’m prediabetic. Time to make some lifestyle changes, but I the lifestyle changes I need to make to be healthy will take time, so I require patience. Patience is a virtue in an instant gratification culture. I need to lose a total of 85 pounds. That will get me down to my pre-pregnancy weight with boy #1. Patience. In December I went back to Weight Watchers with the mantra however long it takes. So far I’m 5 pounds down and I’m coming off a 3 week plateau thankfully. Not much budge in the bloodwork, so far, but I’ll take more bloodwork in August. Hopefully I’ll be down more weight. Challenges: I work at night, sleep during the day and don’t get much opportunity to exercise. I do have 5 pound weights. Need to use them more. I go bowling, but that’s basically all the activity I get. It’s something. I’m 2 years away from retirement, but I could go any time and believe me the thought is tempting. To that end, I think I’ll be sharing the weight loss journey this year. It might be nice to share the journey and see the progress throughout the months. We’ll see where the journey takes me. Starting Weight taken 8 DEC 24: 226.0 Current weight: 24 FEB 25: 220.2 Recent pic of me: OCT 2024 at the USC Football Game  See you next month with another Weight Watcher/lifestyle post. Let the positivity shine! ![Merit Badge in Optimistic
