Hi Everyone,
So, I am defintiely going to take the daily activity challenge. I can really slack off when I am overwhelmed with life and work. And my couch is so very fine for resting upon. And, I feel so much better when I work out/swim/am active.
I had a wonderful visit with my parents. They were here for 3 hours on Sunday. They are both much more frail that I have ever seen them before, and I find that hard to watch. Jenn and Josh were here and we all got to chat with them about the babester and to see the new stroller that my parents got for them.
Both my parents said afterwards, that going out on an outing is now such an effort for them, that they would prefer to only make bigger outings. So, they want to come back to Toronto again, sooner than later. And, my mom's best friend is thinking of moving to Virgil and buying their condo from them, as my dad moves downstairs into the nursing home. They will finally have a 4th for bridge!
I have hit those dreaded doldrums, no weight loss to report. So, I like the idea of challenging myself around the daily activity, and eating fresh (with some protein, I can't sustain work for several hours on salad or fruit alone).
John, I really liked reading your last posting. And everyone else's. This is not just about food or weight loss, it is about changing one's perceptions, one's life and one's priorties.
Omi, your English is just fine. I understand everything you write and appreciate it.
Birige, I love how the right people and supports are just coming into your life. You are definitely attracting that.
Just as an aside - I have many, many more pounds to lose for my optimal weight and health. My ultimate goal is 70 pounds loss. If anyone wants to keep on after the "due date" of this challenge, I would be willing to keep up the support and inspiration. Each time I think "I can't do this. It's too hard. I have never been able to succeed in this area. Give up and move on", I just check into the daily blogs and all of your writings are so helpful and stimulating.
Love, Lorna
